Description
Like so many people, I decided to start keeping backyard chickens in 2020, during the pandemic. In my research on breeds, I came across the Ayam Cemani chicken - the most heavily pigmented animal in the world. Even their skin, bones, and organs are black! I love photographing black dogs and cats on a black background, so I knew I had to photograph one.
I put the word out in some local chicken groups and found this handsome rooster. He was a couple of hours away, but totally worth the drive.
