What Is a Zombie Chick?

“Zombie Chicks” aren’t an official breed—they’re a fun nickname for a hybrid breed that look a little spooky when they hatch. Parcell Farms Zombie chicks are all F1 crosses with the Ayam Cemani and White Leghorn to achieve their spooky appearance. 

Egg Facts:

Zombie Chicks typically lay brown or cream-colored eggs—nothing supernatural, but always dependable. Most lay around 150–200 eggs per year.

Size & Build:

Zombie Chicks can vary in size and looks, but they usually grow into medium-sized chickens, with average adult weights around 4–6 lbs. Their feathers are often white, smoky white, or even have black speckles. They may have the signature Ayam Cemani characteristics such as black comb, legs, skin and beak—giving them that mysterious, undead vibe. 

Weather Hardiness:

These birds are typically hardy and adaptable. Most do well in a variety of climates, especially if they have pea or rose combs. Just give them a safe, clean coop and a bit of shelter, and they’ll do great—rain, shine, or full moon.

Personality:

Despite their spooky name, Zombie Chicks are anything but terrifying. They're usually curious, alert, and fun to watch, with personalities ranging from sweet and docile to independent and bold. Some may be a little shy at first, but they warm up quickly and often become the center of attention in any flock.

So if you’re looking for a chicken with a little spook, a lot of style, and a whole bunch of personality, Zombie Chicks are your gothic backyard besties. Whether you’re raising a haunted homestead or just love something different, these dark darlings are sure to keep your flock interesting... and maybe even a little eerie.
