Ayam Cemani and the Onerous Journey Toward Acceptance
“Onerous” is the word the American Poultry Association (APA) uses to describe the process of adding a new breed to the Standard of Perfection. The word describes the task which requires lot of effort, often feeling overwhelming. This process is not meant to be taken lightly—it requires dedication, collaboration, and persistence. It is worth the effort because along the way, breeders form meaningful connections with judges, show managers, district leaders, and the APA’s Standard Committee. Planning, communication, participation, commitment, and travel all become integral parts of the journey.
