Kadaknath, also called Kali Masi ("fowl having black flesh"), is an Indian breed of chicken.
[3] The Kadaknath is popular for its adaptability and its grey-black meat,[4] which is believed to infuse vigour.
The breed is considered to have originated from the Kathiwar Alirajapur jungles in Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh.
[6] Kadaknath hens' eggs are brown with a slightly pink tint;[6] they are poor setters and rarely hatch their own brood.
Because of the limited availability and increased popularity of the breed since the mid-2000s, there have been multiple types of scams in which both poultry farmers and consumers have been swindled.
