[RobG7aChattTN]

For everyone who raises Green Jungle Fowl:
When is the laying season for Green Jungle Fowl and at what age do you usually sell chicks?
THANKS!

 

[GreatBreeder]

6-10 spring eggs

 

[GreatBreeder]

Sell chicks either a day or week old

Can I keep my Red Junglefowl (the original chicken) with other breeds?

 

[Ntsees]

If you have a picture of your birds, I should be able to provide you better advice if you can keep them with other breeds. Otherwise, they are best not kept with chicken breeds because of diseases.

 

[GreatBreeder]

My chickens to be are 2 rir, 2 br, 2 buff orp, and 2 red sex link.

 

[GreatBreeder]

But it's fine if I can't keep my chickens with their ancestor, it just seemed cool

JF are Not chickens even though chickens may have evolved from them. JF can be very aggressive and during season (they don't breed just any time like chickens) they may kill chickens.

Chickens are the same species as junglefowl, just a different subspecies. But I probably won't keep them.

I didn't state species. They are not the same and JF can and do kill chickens
