RJF are outstanding mothers. Silkie motherhood is nothing compared to RJF, American Game or Asil in my experience. Those three are endlessly broody here and will attack foxes (and win, uninjured) to protect their babiesAlso! I've never had myself a RJF hen but i've heard they are excellent brooders on par with silkies in most cases (This could be false its simply been from a friend of mines hens) I was wondering, if this were to be true would this hypothetically be a trait passable to the chicks from the rooster.
The only tip I have is to be patient (which is very hard.) If the incubator temperature was a little low, they eggs might be a day or so late. I don't know when to quit being patient and start doing something.Facing an issue which is worrying me! the eggs have yet to pip (batch one was meant to pip yesterday) I assumed they'd be late now today is the 21st for the first batch and one of the ggs began to cheep inside the egg however has not even pipped the outer shell yet.
I'm growing very worried any tips?
Some hens lay more eggs than others.Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I love birds, I have 7 chickens at home and every day they lay 3-5 eggs, this is a shock to me. What is the norm and in what season should they always lay eggs, who can tell?
Howdy! I'm new to this site / forum so thank you for having me!
My name firstly is Brian and I run a rehab for a variety of avian creatures and small mammals off my property in California!
I've recently started a little project of my own in breeding chickens, I have my stunning RJF (Red jungle fowl) rooster paired with 3 Red sex link/Gold Comet Hens! The eggs are in the incubator currently and getting far along. I was wondering if I could get some ideas of what their offspring may look like as either chicks or into adulthood. Attached below are images of both the roo and some of the gals any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
And again glad to be on this forum hope to post some more soon!
I've never seen a red jungelfowl with straw colouring which of course doesn't mean they don't exist but he isn't what you'd expect a red junglefowl rooster to look like.Howdy! I'm new to this site / forum so thank you for having me!
