sorry for not getting many updates out lately but an update for now is I've got 15 mixes running around and more on the way. I lost four a few days ago and three were the best blue legged jungle fowl looking but they are gone so maybe some others will turn out good like them. but I'll try to...

I cleared out the junglefowls roosters pin so he now has two americans, two jungle fowl, and the junglefowl/phoenix cross hen who looks like a jungle fowl but is twice the size. two hens have started laying in his coop one is an american the other is unknown at the moment. Hopefully by the tenth...

What is the advantage of pea combs?

Those hens look sharp, to bad we are not closer. That is a problem with the Americans having pea combs, I have one that has only one gene and she throws strait combs, but she isn’t to jungle fowl looking, the question is when crossing the jungle fowl to the American hens when picking the jungle...

Alrighty friends, lets start talking about a breeding plan for RJF brood cock this Spring. I need some ideas on how to breed the RJF rooster this spring. here's what I have available: 4 American hens the three phoenix hens I haven't gotten rid of Lanky's son yet so if they give a little...

Lanky’s son being 3/4 RJF looks very much like a RJF just with higher tail carriage I don’t think I’ve posted any pics of the silver Phoenix since I got him, so here he is.and finally some better pics of the RJF rooster.

I turned out the ½ AGF ¼ RJF ¼ OEGB, she’s a good hen larger than a RJF, straight combed but still isn’t AGF sized and is a little off colored, so now she’s on free range and when laying season comes depending on who lives, but if they all live the silver phoenix, the barred rock, and possibly...

Also I forgot to add I have barred rock rooster my family ended up taking a liking to so unless I can find a home for him he will also be breeding the free range hens he's going to have to survive free range, thankfully his offspring will be easy to tell apart from the other roosters. It will be...

Well survival of the fittest is sure starting to play out now. 13 AGF a surviving so far 3 got killed by an unknown predator the other ones crop was clogged and she didn’t pull through. I’m disappointed in there size while there large compared to a jungle fowl they are small for an AGF most are...

Here is what I got so far for the Red junglefowl improvement project. 1 RJF rooster x AGF 2 RJF rooster x 1/2 AGF 1/4 RJF 1/4 OEGB pullet 3 RJF rooster x Silver phoenix 4 Bruges F x RJF

Got some pics of some of the birds the first one is the ½ AGF ¼ RJF ¼ OEGB pullet. The second one is one of the phoenix hens. The third one is of the what I take to be ½ RJF ½ Silver Phoenix hen. And the last one is of the RJF hen.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/developing-my-own-large-oriental-breed-for-free-ranging.1607266/ I decided I’m going to start documenting the Orientals on this thread and leave this one for the jungle fowl improvement project

I am starting to think that one of the partridge hens may me a phoenix/jungle fowl cross because it’s a fair amount bigger then the other hens

Got some better pictures this morning

Thanks. Yes that is what they look like the hens in the picture are silver Phoenix hens. And I’m also trying to breed my jungle fowl and hybrids to look more like that.

the 1/2 AGF 1/4 RJF 1/4 OEGB stag got killed which I’m not to sad about it but I had a friend who wanted to buy him so I thought I would go over to the Jungle fowl/ Phoenix breeder and get a cross rooster for him and some Phoenix hens for myself. So I did and got a cross stag and 3 hens. Then...

The Bruges cross stag is doing amazing he is staying around 4 - 4.5lbs I’m sure he’ll get bigger than that. Now I’m starting to get some ideas for them all and I think I’m going to have him pinned with a couple of brown red American game hens in hopes they will come out bigger than American...

Got some pictures of some pictures of them they are good structured good quality. Theres a lot of partridge hens, 3 brown reds, a spangled, and a Wheaton hen, most came out blue or green legged they are with Lanky's son and some other hens and the silver hen is the Bruges x American pullet as...
