    Updated Pictures of Ivan 'the Lone Jungle Fowl' Hen or Roo?

    I was worried Ivan would be a Cockerel because of the green tint to the tail feathers. If its a cockerel then its back to the safari park, if its a hen then we keep her and get her some company. We have never kept chickens so really want this one to be a hen. If its a cockerel then no chickens...

    Eating Childrens Play Sand.

    I gues he may not be a chick any more. Habit calling him a chick. He (she) is eight weeks old tomorrow. Is that still a chick?

    My chick is eating the childrens play sand we put in his box for dust bathing. Will this do him any harm? No dust bathing, just eating.

    Ivan 'the lone jungle fowl' has developed a green tint on his tail feathers. The green only shows up in some light like an oily residue colour (color). Could this be a hint of a male?

    Jungle Fowl 'Ivan' pictures, Boy or Girl?

    Cant be sure it is 100% jungle fowl as they are are kept with domestic chicken at the park. The mother was a jungle fowl but as we cant be sure she is 100% either, they are not in a breeding programme hence living with the domestic chucks. Ivan wont breed with jungle fowl as his blood line may...

    You should of seen him on day one when he'd dried up. I'll get the earlier pictures put on the forum from my phone. My girlfriend takes him everywhere. If Ivan does turn out to be a hen, she will be called Ivana...Ivana Lay-an-egg.
