An American farmer whose name is John owns an enormous plot of land with a vibrant garden full of vegetables, a blooming orchard, and his cosy home.
John keeps hens in a coop next to his home, some of which he uses for his own aims and some of which he sells.
Over the years, this arrangement has worked for him very well, increasing the productivity and self-sufficiency of his farm.
Traditionally, John is used to discovering eggs strewn all over his property, particularly in the vicinity of the greenhouse where his hens enjoy running amok.
Since his free-range hens behaved in this manner normally, there was never any reason to be concerned. But one morning, John noticed something strange that caught his attention.
John found a group of perfectly black eggs next to the chicken coop. He had never seen anything like this before.
John was surprised at first by the striking black hue of the eggs, but his curiosity overcame him. He was intrigued by these unusual eggs and chose to incubate them in a very warm, dark corner of his barn, just like he would any simple chicken egg.
The eggs started to hatch after a few days of patient waiting, exposing their even more amazing contents.
The chicks that emerged astounded John since they were wholly black, down to their beaks and feathers. John was excited to learn more about these unusual birds because he had never expected to see this sight.
The chicks turned out to be Ayam Cemani, a rare species distinguished by their remarkable all-black look. Their interior organs and bones are also included in this distinctive feature, which goes beyond appearances.
John found out that his affluent neighbor, who specialized in uncommon breeds, was the breeder of these unusual chickens. It seemed as though one of his neighbor’s hens had inadvertently strayed into John’s land and lay eggs.
For John, the discovery of the Ayam Cemani chickens was a thrilling experience that brought a sense of mystery and different to his farming life.
Moreover to show him to a new breed, this event deepened his relationship with his neighbor and sparked chats about possible future businesses.
Though surprises were nothing new to John’s farm, the emergence of these black chicks was a wonderful exception that brought to mind the never-ending wonders of the natural world.
