Sumatras Skin Color: Yellow. Sumatras Egg Shell Color: White or light tint. Sumatras Use: Strictly an ornamental fowl. Sumatras Origin: Sumatras come from the island of Sumatra from which they take their name. Sumatra Chickens were originally imported from Sumatra in 1847 to the U.S. and Europe for the purpose of cockfighting, but today Sumatras are primarily kept for exhibition. 1883 is the year the Black Sumatra was first inducted into the American Standard of Perfection. Sumatras Characteristics: Sumatras are a distinctive fowl which look less like domestic poultry than other chickens. Sumatras have rather long tails carried low enough to appear drooping. Sumatras have multiple spurs on each leg, dark purple faces and a high degree of greenish luster on jet black plumage.
