Mystic Onyx

The Mystic Onyx is a hybrid chicken resembling an Ayam Cemani with beautiful iridescent green/black feathers and black comb and beak. We first met these beauties in 2021 and Joan, our Mystic Onyx, was my favorite addition to the flock that year (that's us in the big picture!). The chicks do vary in color, crest and number of toes, meaning some of them will grow up to have different flashes of color, some will even have small feather crests on top of their heads and most have 5 toes although some have 4. They are good layers (225 eggs/year) of medium-sized brown eggs. Mystic Onyx are active, energetic hens known to have both heat and cold hardiness. Aren't they cool looking?!
