Description
Table Of Contents: Red Jungle Fowl are the ancestors of all our domestic chickens. They were first domesticated around 3200bc in South East Asia, where they are native. They have adapted to thrive near humans, despite many centuries of being hunted and still survive in good numbers. Out of all Jungle Fowl they are the easiest to maintain and breed in captivity, nesting on the ground and laying around 10-12 eggs.

| Red Junglefowl, Gallus gallus, is a tropical member of the Pheasant family and the direct ancestor of the domestic chicken. It was first raised in captivity at least 5,000 years ago in India, and the domesticated form has been taken all around the world as a very productive food source for both meat and eggs, which some breeds have been specifically developed to produce. |
