Gamefowl Eyeshine

[E flowers]

I've been following a fellow chicken breeder on YouTube called FloridaBullfrog. His chickens have been noted to have strong eyeshine and a crepuscular sleep/wake cycle. I'm intrigued and would like to know what other gamefowl breeds have this as well.

If you own indio gigante, asil, shamo, pheonix, or liege fighter's I'd love to know if you've also observed this in your birds, or if you test it I'd like to know your findings.

Well that's interesting.

Perhaps @Florida Bullfrog can chime in.

I talked with him earlier. He said the oriental game breeds are best for eyeshine.

I have a a video or 2 that talks about eye shine and weather or not chickens can see at night. As of my own experience with a lot of breeds of chickens in my life, most of them will have it. All of my American Gamefowl Chickens have it. I like to catch a lot of Free rangers at night and I can tell you, I have chased them all over the woods.lol. Check out my YouTube channel for more info.
