Well see what he looks like later, I had mentioned this was my first time, they the feed store had a large tub labeled jungle fowl not sex so I grabbed one, it will be interseting to see how he turns out. There is not a whole lot of info on jungle fowl out there.

That explains it.

Haha. Hummm....85 cents for a junglefowl. Lol. Nice!

Anyways, reall stuff...

Usually, they start out anywhere from $10 - $30 per chick, depending on the line.

Not a lot of Info?

You can just search Jungle Fowls on Yahoo. And BOOM! All the info you can get!

Can you do me a favor please? Let the feedstore know if they want junglefowls to sell, they will need to contact me or some others that have the real thing to sell them. A black junglefowl is just too funny. And 85 cents each is even funnier! Haha.

Seriously...they can't fool anyone with junglefowls being either black, white, or gray. Haha. Only BBR color for junglefowls.

I could not find any pictures of chicks and they said the dominate color is black with a green shine, along with a red head, and i believe golden brown upper body, do you have any pictures you can share of chicks or the different stages?

The cock has shining silky plumage, red on the head and back and green-black elsewhere—a pattern seen also in several domestic breeds; the hen is rusty brown with speckled neck and minimal comb.

Tommy.
You have horrible manners.

Tommy is actually correct saying that it is highly unlikely that a feedstore had what Tommy is calling "real RJF"
But that is not a big deal you can find lots of info on red junlgefowl at various sites on the net, there is a msn based chatboard centered on RJF
and others...
find them and you will find a wealth of info and pics.

Thanks your a real gentleman, appreciate the advice. I have no experience what so ever when it comes to jungle fowl that is why I posted this post.
