Gray jungle fowl

[DMFarm]

Here is a gray jungle fowl I hatch this year when it hatch it was darker than any I have ever hatched and I have been raising them for years. I have talk to several other breeders and they said they have never seen one this dark and think it a dark color mutation.

DMFarm,
How well do such coop raised birds adapt to a free range setting? Will they stay around or drift off like pheasant?

 

[birdboy508]

snazy.

Keep us updated, could be a melanistic gray, you never know....

 

[centrarchid]

I see melanism fairly frequently in other species. Pictured bird does not appear melanistic, rather it appears to lack brown-red coloration with the gray base color remaining same.

I would not free range the gray jungle fowl they are a little flighty and would not stay around.
