Ok thanks, maybe I should try getting hybridized red jungle fowl and slowly breed introduce them to there new environment. What do you think?. Are there more natural behaving game chickens that you know of that don't kill each other. I have read old threads that say cackle hatcherys rjf are old english game birds bred to look like rjf. The reviews show a picture of two roosters sitting together. Do you think these birds are any good. I have yet to see them in stock.I am not aware of any non-game gamefowl. You might come close if you can get some feral birds from Florida or the Island of Kauai in Hawaii. The gamefowl have been selected in part, to thrive in close proximity to humans. All chickens are derived from crosses between jungle fowl species. Almost certainly the adaptions include being able to gamble on human activity providing protection. By human activity I mean structures and agriculture. Not all gamefowl are well suited for cold climates. Some have been selected for endurance under conditions of high temperature and humidity; Orientals follow that pattern.
