What makes the Black Namoi unique?
The Black Namoi is a modern spin on the traditional rare breed and Asian coveted, black skin "Silkie" chicken. The Black Namoi is the result of new bloodlines and crossbreeding, culminating in a small, tender table bird with:
- startling black skin and bones;
- a good layer of fat;
- a greater proportion of moist meat; and
- a deeper, richer and less gamey flavour than the traditional Silkie.
