If someone made a ’90s teen movie starring only chickens (please bear with us), the Ayam Cemani could easily play the role of goth kid. The Indonesian chicken is entirely black. We’re not just talking the parts you can see. Inside, the chicken’s bones and organs are also black. The popularity of these chickens has increased as of late, with a single bird selling for as much as $1,400. They are said to bring good fortune and prosperity, something we can’t speak to. What we can say, however, is they look really cool. Great Big Story has the scoop on these Marilyn Manson-loving birds.
