Comment on The Father of All Chickens – A Short Story of the Red Jungle fowl by Dennis James Guy

Hello. Yes, it seems the Red Jungle Fowl (RJF) is the foundation for all ‘modern’ breeds, but what about the ‘ancient’ Malay and Asil breeds, and some others? These are so different from the RJF. They have a pea comb, bright yellow legs, tall and heavy birds with almost no ability to fly at all, it would seem these must have descended from an extant ‘grassland’ fowl (vs a ‘jungle’ fowl). While the RJF is definately of Pheasant type, the Malay is better described as an Ostrich type. Certainly the 2 types will interbreed and produce fertile offspring. But has a Grassland ancestor been completely dismissed by poultry researchers? Dennis Guy.

I am having a large coop built this spring. Any info you can share with me on keeping predators out and keeping the coop clean would be great to know before I build the coop. Especially, tips to think about easy coop cleaning that can be built in to a new coop.

It’s all about balance and moderation, and not eating GMO too obviously. Chlorophyll, the bodies natural detoxifier. Everyone’s body and circumstances are different. Be mindful about how your body reacts to stuff. If u take or use any drugs, this may prevent you from being able to feel what your body is trying to say.

No need to get all worked up about this stuff guys.

breeding it to its own kind and line would be the best way to conserve its geneology for it is said to be the father of all gamefowls now. bringing it in an enclosed wide area where it can roam like it is in its own habitat can be a key to propagate its kind and prevent it from extinction.

Buy your organic eggs from a reputable source at your local farmer’s market. If you don’t want eggs from soy/corn fed layers, just ask. If they say they do feed them corn/soy, look elsewhere. They are out there. It just involves more research, and asking lots of questions.
