Sumatra chickens are a stunning and distinctive heritage breed, admired for their elegant appearance, long flowing tails and beautiful glossy black plumage with an iridescent green sheen. Originally from the Indonesian island of Sumatra, they are an active, hardy and intelligent breed with excellent foraging abilities. Their striking appearance makes them particularly popular with rare-breed enthusiasts and those wanting something truly unique in their flock. Sumatras are also known for their distinctive features, including dark legs and, particularly in males, multiple spurs. Our fertile eggs are collected from our carefully selected breeding flock and individually checked before being prepared for hatching or shipping.
