Game rooster behavior and fighting

[ElizaMay]

So what do people think of this article (a) - I am sure I read RJF were what chickens *came* from, not that they were chickens, so the title threw me (b)- I understood laying habits are seasonal, not year round so why call them 'prolific egg layers' (c)- I understood them to be wild and roosters highly aggressive during mating season, so how on earth would they be at all a 'great option for a small scale farm'. Have I got it all wrong?

That article isn’t really discussing true Red Jungle Fowl, but either hybrids or junglefowl-like gamefowl of the sort I raise. Did you notice that the article calls them “Spanish Gamecock” under the breed name? There’s a long association between red junglefowl and the old Spanish gamefowl. Many sources use the titles interchangeably. The Spanish Empire most certainly had access to Red Jungle Fowl and derivative hybrids in their trade in SE Asia and junglefowl-like gamefowl ended up all over the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, including Florida.

In terms of accuracy of the article, it is accurate as to junglefowl hybrids and inaccurate as to pure red jungle fowl.
