I'm new here and this is a real old post. I do have a couple pictures of my jungle cock on my page. I'm not sure how to post pictures in other place, maybe someone can let me know.

I don't have any pure Junglefowl, but I do have a few that are 1/4 Grey Junglefowl. I need to go take new pictures of the youngest generation, but here are some of the latest pics I have. The picture by gumbii is a pure grey junglefowl. mine are not.

This one is 1/4 Grey jf, 1/4 ameraucana, and 1/2 phoenix, at about 6 months old.

pullet, 1/4 grey jf

You can't really tell from a picture, but this bird is 1/4 grey as well the rest is various longtail breeds.

and this is their daddy, the one that is half grey junglefowl.

this is a better body shot of him. see how he shows the grey junglfowl in his comb?

Someone asked if they were skittish. The answer is yes. They can fly and must be kept in a tight coup and aviary. The hens are a little friendlier than the rooster. If I’m outside the aviary the rooster will be pacing the opposite side of the pen. The hens will come to the food dish, but will remain at least four feet away. The roosters love to pace and will spend most their time in motion, especially when people are around. I have gotten close to my hens by feeding them worms but ran out of worms before I could bet them to eat out of hand.
