i will confirm the procedure for the shipment of birds out side the country, cos some people import from different countries to Pakistan, if this will be difficult , then i will try to get eggs of rjf from u.
one thing more, r u have cyelone jungle fowl, grey jungle fowl or green jubgle fols, if u have, then in feb or march i will get from u

Sorry, but exporting is something I cannot do. I have read on it in the past and it's a lot of headache and requires a lot of time and money. It is something that I do not want to get into.

and in ur opinion, which sub species is of my rjf

In the U.S., there is no wildlife or government agency that keeps rjf. The rjf here are kept by people who enjoys them (hobbyists/aviculturists).

As for rjf in general, it's sometimes difficult to tell which subspecies it is unless you know the geographic location and country where they originated from. As for your males, they are far too dark to be either of the subspecies. The darkest (red color) of the subspecies are the jabouillei and the bankiva, but even they don't get as dark as yours. I've seen images of dark rjf similar to yours and they are from Singapore (https://nusavifauna.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/red-junglefowl/), but the thing is that most of Singapore's rjf (in my opinion) has either chicken genes or minute amounts of chicken genes (the only exception might be those of Palau Ubin).

As mentioned in the other post, it would be best for you to work with rjf that are native and come directly from your country/region.

In your first photo, I wasn't able to determine purity very well because I couldn't get a good view of their tail structure and so I wasn't quite certain. But now, I'm certain. Sorry to say this, but your rjf are not pure. I strongly suggest that they not be released. Pure rjf should have few tail coverts (about 4) that are short and rounded. The tail coverts on your males are too long. Regardless, your current birds should provide you experience so that one day, if you have the opportunity to own the pure birds, it will help you keep them alive. Pure rjf are difficult to keep and raise because of their extremely wild nature and susceptibility to diseases.
