Description

Cackle Hatchery® offers multiple varieties of the Sumatra chicken, including the Black Sumatra.

Originally bred to be a fighting chicken in Southeast Asia, it was admitted into the American Standard of Perfection in the late 1800s. You can place your order and we will ship them to you as soon as possible. For additional details about this chicken breed, contact Cackle Hatchery® today!

Newbie Note: There are some white feathers in their 1st and 2nd stage feathering which is normal but by the 6th month they are solid black feathers.

    Gorgeous but ALL ROOS

    Ordered 5, knowing these were straight run, but every single bird was a roo! I was hoping for at least 1 hen. Gorgeous roos, but way too many for a “luck of the draw” order. Beware if you don’t want roos.
