A couple of pics of the Jungle fowl

Does anyone here keep Red Jungle Fowl? I got 4 at a month old and they are now 8 weeks. Interested in others experiences with them. I was able to tell their sex at like 5-6 weeks, two Roos and two pullets. I’ve noticed that they seem to be very hardy and energetic. They have warmed up to me over tim...

It’s for cattle, but it’s not harmful to birds. It worked because they don’t like the colour and won’t touch...

To clarify my reply - What I meant by “bad habit” is that when some birds start eating feathers, it may not stop regardless of what you do. As I said, my birds had plenty of good, high protein food, I supplement with vitamins several days s week, lots of space and I did try the raw meat angle as wel...
