He's real pretty. Looks pure black too

He's got some bright red leakage in his saddles. Also some random white in different places.

I did not see the red! The few white specs sometimes go away with age

The white he's getting in now is new feathers.

I'll get pictures of the red leakage the next time.

I don't think too many people know much about this breed. We are all versed in the hatchery breeds, but the more exotic breeds are still a mystery to many poultry keepers.

Do you have photos? I get mixed up if I have old English game fowl or jungle fowl.

Red JungleFowl typically have white earlobes, but some do have red.

How big are your birds in question?

The original ones are 2 pounders. Roosters are loud, ornery, but the hens are sweet.
Every summer barred rock or leghorns would get wiped out by hawks. These guys are going on their second year. All black to look like crows and I think it works. Even attracts crows.
Mixing them with some "mutt" chickens from a friend I'm getting some wicked colors and crops and some great personalities.

Not JungleFowl if they're all black.
