    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    That description sounds unbelievably beautiful, and I'd imagine with you keeping them on free range and exposure to natural pressures as well as artificial selections, they will remain intelligent and allert, unlike many lethargic breeds that have been completely pen bred for many generations

    Hard Lesson About Wild Jungle Fowl Mamas

    I'd say let her try again, and maybe she'd be better if she was in a more natural spot to do it, for example, I have a marans ancona cross (beautiful little hen) that loves to set in a weedy corner of my garden and she has hatched 2 broods this way successfully, but her first in the coop was a...

    Starting a new feral flock of jungle fowl hybrids in the distant future.

    So, it's interesting, I'm justa few miles away from OEGB, and we aren't like harsh extreme desert, we've got a lot of viable forage opportunities and as long they've got water, and there is some form of predation control, they'll be fine. I know a few ranchers who remember their grandparent's...

    Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

    I've yet to have game chickens to know for sure but based on what I've seen from others' flocks is that its around 8 weeks. Of course someone with more knowledge than me should say for sure.

    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    Wonder if you'll end up getting something like the wild turkey or sage grouse affect, where a bird from otherwise small heritage gets bigger due to predator pressure so long as food is available. wouldn't that be something, a chicken the size of a small wild turkey or average sage grouse that...

    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    Gotta love the Arizona Chaparral country. Seems like down in the little gullies and valleys, like I'm in, there's a lot more scrub oak and catclaw, both of which are good cover and the oak drop lots of leaves, which make the perfect home for edible insects and the catclaw drops pods, which are...

    I'm So Sick of This

    Hey everyone, I need some help, I have been having some issues in my flock. So, I've had chickens die, like a lot, and I just dissected one, and her intestines looked fine on the outside, but, she was skinny as a fence rail, sick for several weeks, and just overall dumpy and not normal. That's...

    Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

    He is a banty, but I'd darn sure hope that an agile, handsome little RJF cockerel could cover standard hens if my little clumsy black Frizzle cochin banty that I had years ago could cover a standard Brahma hen HAHAHA:lau. Yeah, I have no fear of him having difficulty. Thank you very much!

    Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

    Hey ya'll, I want to start up a project similar to this and I'd like to ask a few questions, and just follow this thread for ideas. So first off, I'm getting a red jungle fowl cockerel from Az OEGB, I don't figure he's mixed with anything, and he's young, about still 2 months from any breeding...

    Cat/Kitten for Mouse Control

    So, just my 2 cents, I have grown up around barn cats, and chickens, and heres how everyone I know and how I've done it. So, start with the weaned kitten(s) and a momma gen or better yet a muscovy hen with chicks or ducklings and let the kitten live his life and if he's young enough that the...
