Jungle Fowl

[erasound]

So I got this guy from a guy who said he bought a batch of jungle fowl chicks, but when they grew up, this rooster turned out gold instead of red. I thought it looks rather nice. Just want to know what you all think.

Have you invested effort in taming them?

They are not so wild if you rise them from the eggs.
and give them a little practice,.....

start from give the a food from your hand.
its good practice to create tame jungle fowl.

Red Jungle Fowl come in only one color. Just like a Black- breasted Red Old English Game. Or Brown Leghorns. You will not likely get pure birds as the pure breed are just not available. The pure cocks go into a hen-like eclipse plumage in the winter. They would be poor layers and are just for beauty.

They differ from Old English Bantams of similar size that are called black-breasted red. Some of my games are dead ringers for red jungle fowl on all accounts except for size and leg coloration. They get disqualified at show because they are not black-breasted reds.

The eclipse molt is not restricted to pure jungle fowl. I do not know where they originated but originator did a very poor job of researching subject yet it is still being passed on as fact.

If you mean the cocks gain the brown hen colors during the eclipse, I do not think they do. If you did not mean that, then never mind. Even during eclipse, the male is still clearly distinguishable from the hens because the hens retain their brown colors.
