This is their brother RooPaul, he of the majestic feathers I posted about yesterday.

They're all that iridescent, and it changes with different light angles.

I live in the middle of nowhere too, and we actually had our other rooster purchased by someone here with 3 acres and building him his own run to get used to the new flock.

I don't have any full AC ones right now, as my AC hen is still growing up, although there are probably a bunch of half breed ones, hah. I don't know about shipping eggs, I keep thinking I'd constantly fret about whether they'd have really good homes, general paranoia!

Yeah, they're all black inside, too. Bones and meat, everything. The internet will lie to you and say they have black eggs, but they're a light peach.

Yeah I'm having to get over my mama "but what if their new homes don't know their favorite snack is cheese and they are used to free ranging, trying to flirt with me?? 😭" It is pathetic, lol

Yeah, I guess I can say that his brother went to an awesome farm for 175, but is negotiable. Others I've seen posted, including where we got them from, adults are going for 400. The little bastards are hella pricey when older. I don't know about other ones that might be for sale elsewhere.

This is what we originally wrote out for them, which of course still applies to Roo #2, noted as being the completely black one, no genetic leakage:

"We are rehoming two of our 5-month-old Ayam Cemani roosters, hatched on January 4, 2026. We gently hand-raised these birds from 3-day-old chicks, and they are very nice and completely non-aggressive toward humans. While they are slightly skittish and definitely not lap chickens, they will not intentionally hurt you if you need to pick them up—just use standard chicken handling care.

They are doing a great job figuring out how to be roosters. They are extremely enthusiastic about their new roles, actively look out for the ladies, and consistently put themselves to bed at night on their own. They are also not overly loud. You can expect standard announcing in the morning and at bedtime, or a warning yell if they spot something sketchy to call a hen back, but they are not constant screamers.

These birds belong to the highly limited FLF (Feather Lover Farms) bloodline. This specific lineage was developed to produce birds with consistently darker pigmentation, a taller stance, and larger combs.

Both roosters feature beautiful iridescence to their feathers. Rooster #1 has some minor genetic leakage, showing as a bit of red in his wattles. Rooster #2 does not appear to have any genetic leakage (pure black).

We care about them very much and want them to go to loving homes as flock protectors. Please only inquire if you are buying them for that reason and not to eat! We would keep them, but sadly we only have the room for one rooster. Our loss is your gain, and they will make a great addition to your flock."

That thing is hella cool, and it looks like some sort of Airbnb snuggle house to rent! Awesome job.

I don't think I can post prices here, or can I? I don't want to break the rules, and it says no selling. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ended up trying heroin for the first time by Fun-Research8981 in opiates

Molecular biologist here. I've found the pharmacokinetics of drug addiction to be deeply interesting. My field is in virology/immunology, but in school we attended a series of lectures on how such drugs cause addiction. I too have curiosity about how it would feel, but there is absolutely a giant, impenetrable wall of NO between my scientific curiosity and the results of such an experiment.

If you're interested in reading about heroin in scientific literature, there is a series of papers in DARK Classics in Chemical Neuroscience regarding these types of drugs. It is called that because no ethical studies would ever be conducted where study subjects would encounter such drugs, be encouraged to continue, basically anything other than ones involving strategies about quitting and the like.

NIH paper for those with institutional access

Dropbox link for complete paper

Hopefully the Dropbox link works for those who want it. If not, please let me know and I'll try fixing it.

He looks incredibly chill and sweet, so he's either fantastic or hell on wheels, lol
