Absolutely! I found my Ayam Cemani at a local fair, which was a unique experience. They looked healthy and lively!

Make sure you check the age of the chickens too; younger birds tend to adapt better to new environments!

I’ve heard mixed reviews about online marketplaces. Buyer beware! You never fully know the conditions they were raised in.

True! Always better to choose breeders that prioritize chicken welfare. Look for those who have a solid vetting process.

I’ve got a good laugh from my friend who bought chickens without doing any research—he ended up with white chickens! So funny!

That’s hilarious! But seriously, do your research—it makes all the difference!

I’ve been pondering over my own experience with online breeders. While I’ve had good ones, I’ve also faced scams. Just stay vigilant!

Definitely! Always trust your instincts when checking out a vendor.

I’ve been looking for Ayam Cemani chickens too! Typically, they range from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on age and breeding quality. It’s essential to buy from reputable breeders to ensure you’re getting healthy chickens.

That’s a hefty price! I’ve seen some listings as low as $1,500. Just make sure to check the seller’s ratings and reviews.

Not all sellers are reliable. Sometimes, cheaper is riskier! I agree with michael38 - investing in a healthy bird is worth the extra cash.
