It’s a sad day.
My wild jungle fowl rescue went broody. None of my other hens do that, so it was exciting! I had a collection of eggs to incubate. I gave her some fake eggs because this was her first full-on brood, and I wanted to be sure she’d be consistent. In the meantime, I picked the...
My Wild Jungle Fowl rescue hen went intensely broody. Perfect time, so I grabbed eggs out of the ‘bator and threw them under her. Once in a while she takes a break to eat, drink, scratch, and chill out on her perch. Meanwhile, one of our elder RIR’s takes over. After a while, Miss Broody goes...
My handsome man here scrapped with a jungle fowl about 6 months ago. He was badly injured and we thought he lost an eye, as it was visible, but not in its socket. He miraculously healed from his injuries in days!
