I had a question about artificial lighting. In the past I used artificial lighting to extend the day length on my regular domestic chickens to start them laying in late winter. My Green Jungle Fowl are kept indoors so they are dependent on artificial lighting (there’s a window on the building...

Thanks!

I just got a pair! I had to scramble a bit because they came a day earlier than expected and I was still building a new quarantine cage with a padded ceiling so they wouldn’t hurt themselves as they tend to launch skyward when startled. I was amazed at how calm this pair was as they were in...

I'm officially looking for a pair of Green Jungle Fowl. I have the habitat all set up and I have the cash. Please let me know if you have birds available if you are willing to ship to Tennessee. Call or text 423-504-0335

I think people only sell chicks, not eggs (I've never seen anyone selling eggs). It's a bit too risky shipping eggs since they are so valuable and shipped eggs are such a gamble. I think most Green Jungle Fowl hens only lay 3-6 eggs a year.

You will have to provide some form of heat. This has been addressed in past posts (I asked).

I saw the prices on Mazuri and didn't think it was bad at all. Compared to $6 for a 1.75 lb. bag it's quite reasonable and although I'll try to provide other forms of fresh food it is really nice to have a dry food to keep available free-choice.

Which type of Mazuri? Do they have one for pheasants?

I was looking at Ultra Kibble at Tractor Supply. At first I was relieved to see a convenient dry food that I could leave out free-choice that was a healthy diet for Green Jungle Fowl with plans to add mealworms, dubia roaches, leafy greens and some whole grains, etc. in the ingredients list...

That's not too far from me...I live north of Chattanooga just south of Cleveland off of I-75. Maybe we can find a good deal on two pairs of Green Jungle Fowl and split the shipping.

Where in East Tennessee are you located? I'm in Chattanooga.

Maybe if the enclosure is closed and insulated during the winter I can just give the birds an area with a few ceramic heat emitter bulbs to warm up by. That's all I use for heat in my chick brooders in my unheated shed and it isn't even insulated (but the brooders help hold in the heat).

What's their minimum temperature as adults? I plan on insulating and heating their enclosure but it would help to know exactly how tropical they are. I'd hate to try and maintain 80F if they are perfectly happy down to 50F.

What type (and size) of housing do people use for their Green Junglefowl? What proximity are they to your other chickens and what do you do for biosecurity? I've been trying to plan out housing and how to prevent transferring diseases to the Green Jubglefowl. From what I've read your healthy...

Thanks!

I originally wanted to try and find a cockerel to experiment with some hybrids. Then I decided that I might just go ahead and try breeding Green Jungle Fowl since they take so long to mature and then raise up a cockerel so I'd have one tame enough to handle without stressing him...especially...

At this point I'd just like to see a list of ALL the people in the U.S. Who breed Green Jungle Fowl. Seems like it would be a very short list.
