Black Sumatra

Purely Poultry is pleased to offer the exceptional Black Sumatra Chickens, a breed that embodies elegance and rich heritage. Originating from the lush island of Sumatra, these birds are instantly recognizable for their striking all-black plumage, which gleams with a luxurious sheen. Their long, flowing tails and sleek feathers add to their regal appearance, making them a standout in any flock.

While the Black Sumatra may not be prolific egg layers, typically producing around 100 eggs per year, their beauty and historical significance more than make up for it. Their slow-growing nature adds to their charm—starting with a few white feathers as chicks, they mature into their stunning black feathers by around six months of age. This transformation is a key part of their allure, offering poultry enthusiasts a front-row seat to their graceful development.

These birds are known for their hardy nature and adaptability, thriving in free-range environments where they can forage naturally. Although not the most social of breeds, they carry a sense of quiet dignity, making them a perfect addition for those who appreciate a more independent, yet captivating, breed. Their history as game birds gives them a unique resilience, yet they remain calm and composed in a backyard setting.

Black Sumatra Chickens are more than just a beautiful breed; they represent a piece of living history. With roots going back to their recognition by the American Poultry Association in 1883, these birds have been cherished for their beauty and rarity for over a century. For poultry keepers seeking something unique and sophisticated, the Black Sumatra is the perfect choice.
