Just for information.

That website has very useful pictures to show what pure birds should look like, but it also has pictures that include chicken-crosses without telling the reader which is which. Those unfamiliar the with what the species should look like may learn the wrong characteristics - like I did a decade ago. Back then, I used to refer to that page often because I didn't know what the pure looks like. Still, the webpage has some useful information (like the eclipse molt pictures). The following webpage is the information that I now refer to when distinguishing pures (close any pop-ups and don't click the advertisements): http://ayamhutan.tripod.com/Male.htm

What ever you do STAY AWAY from ordering pheasants or junglefowl from hatcheries. The so called Red junglefowl from hatcheries are some kind of bantam they call junglefowl. If you are truly looking for pure birds you need to contact private breeders. I raise three of the four species and would say they are not for the beginner. Grey Jf is the best species to start of with f you want to get into raising JF. The Red junglefowl being the most nervous and flightly of the four species.
Cost of pure birds can get real pricy. My red junglefowl lines go back quite a bit. $200.00 is what Ive paid for my last birds and have done quite well. Elton Housely has one of the oldest and purest of lines as well as James Pfarr. My birds come fom both of these gentlemen.
This is my email: Drop me a line when you get a chance ([email protected])

Ok thanks. It's good to know who's birds came from who. I'm already familiar with Mr. Housley, and for Don, I've read about him in Tomas Condon's thesis.
