Yes. The importing is tricky. Says he's located in Pakistan.

I don't have agood feeling about the kijiji ad.

I only buy from recognized breeders. Learned my lesson the hard way :(

I did some investigating and here's what I found.

Canadian (at the bottom of the list) and US breeders on this list

"Last year we were the only farm to obtain and import them legally under the supervision of a USDA veterinarian."
https://www.gradeehfarms.ca/blog/ayam-c ... e#comments

"Greenfire Farms was able to locate and legally import into the United States the first pure specimens of this breed despite the current USDA export ban on importing live chickens from Indonesia."

"The Sale of Fake Ayam Cemani in Pakistan is Nuts" This video shows a Sweden Black and it looks very similar to

Do you need to ask?

@JimW used to raise them, I am sure he could offer an insight.
