Sumatra Chicken Breed Information

Cackle Hatchery offers the  two color varieties that the Sumatra Chicken comes in. The Sumatra Chicken has a long flowing tail, graceful carriage and was originally bred as a fighting chicken. The Sumatra Chicken does not do well in close confinement and prefer to roost as high as they can get.

The Black Sumatra Chicken came from the Island of Sumatra which is in far southeast Asia. This is a fowl of graceful form and has a long flowing tail with lustrous greenish black plumage. Noted for  multiple spurs that appear on the males and black skin.  This breed was admitted into the American Standard of Perfection in 1883.  

The Blue Sumatra Chicken can come in different shades of blue, dark blue/black and splash.  The Blue Sumatra Chicken photos as shown are the blue color you want to select out of your entire flock to show... This is a very rare breed and will attract a lot of attention at poultry shows.
