Hello all steemian..
This is my first post. Hopefully there are benefits for the steemian.
I will invite steemian to think a little about this universe. Can not we count one by one how many creations that exist in this world. Even one model of creation alone has a very large variety. My logic says this does not happen with itself. This is one sign of the power of the greatness of the creator of this universe.
One of the creations but has a very large variety is chicken.
This time I will write about one of the unique chickens. His name is chicken cemani.
Hopefully all the steemians can be know a what i writing.
Chicken cemani is a typical chicken from Indonesia. Characteristic of cemani chicken is all black color. Not only the fur, the entire body of cemani black. The price of chicken is also quite expensive, most expensive chicken ever sold for
$4000
Usually chicken cemani is used for a strange ritual.
Many people may still have questions about why this cemani chicken is jet black? Indeed, chicken cemani different from other types of chickens, so there are various myths and assumptions in Indonesian society. Whereas according to a study, cemani chicken is black in color because of the unique genetic conditions commonly called fibromelanosis.
Body color may be black, but not with eggs. Eggs of chicken cemani have the same shape and color with the eggs in general, ie white bone or cream and there are young red spots. When the egg is opened and seen inside, the color remains the same as the other chicken eggs. When this cemani chicken embryo appears, then black color also appears.
The population of cemani chickens is now declining and getting scarce. Data from BackyardChickenCoops shows that the number of cemani chickens around the world is only about 3500 heads. The cause of this chicken population decline is the level of breeding is quite limited and this chicken can only be cultivated in Indonesia and some European countries only.
Thanks you steemia...
