		The female Red Jungle Fowl is substantially smaller (one and a half feet long with a weight of about one to one and a half pounds) than the male (about two and a half feet long weighting about one a half pounds to two).
		The male Red Jungle Fowl is quite striking with an upper plumage of russet-gold and a lower plumage of red and deep green.
		The Red Jungle Fowl is clearly one of the oldest domesticated birds.

	Red Junglefowl (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A number of characteristics have been taken to indicate clean or pure Red Junglefowl; presence of an "eclipse" plumage in the males, absence of a comb and wattles in the female, slender dark legs, tail posture, call characteristics, and a generally wild and wary behavior.
		The genetically pure Red Junglefowl are VERY difficult to keep in captivity due to their wild and wary nature.
		Most all of the red junglefowl from the original group are banded, microchipped, studbook listed, and registered with the International Species Information System (ISIS), the organization that maintains registration records and pedigrees for wild species in most of the world's zoos.

	Red Junglefowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Red Junglefowl, Gallus gallus is a tropical member of the Pheasant family and the direct ancestor of the domestic chicken.
		Males are much larger; they have large red fleshy wattles on the head and long, bright gold and bronze feathers forming a "shawl" or "cape" over the back of the bird from the neck to the lower back.
		The other three members of the genus, Sri Lanka Junglefowl Gallus lafayetii, Grey Junglefowl Gallus sonneratii and the Green Junglefowl Gallus varius do not produce fertile hybrids with the Red Junglefowl Gallus gallus, suggesting that it is the sole ancestor of the domestic chicken.

	PROTOCHICKEN
		Using these techniques, the research team was able to eliminate all but a single subspecies of red junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus) native to Thailand as the ancestor to all subsequent breeds of the domesticated chicken.
		However, the red junglefowl was not native to that arid region of China, suggesting an older heritage in a more tropical area.
		Moreover, this data indicates that the chicken is a notable exception to the general rule that the domestication of a species results in the extinction of its wild ancestor, the researchers note.

	The Red Junglefowl of the Philippines--Native or Introduced?
		It is conceivable that the junglefowl might have spread through the entire archipelago and visibly differentiated in three thousand years, but it seems unlikely.
		Tom Harrisson, Curator of the Sarawak Museum, informs me (letter of 23 December 1961) that he feels that the absence from Borneo of the junglefowl is actually circumstantial evidence for the natural colonization of the Philippines, as he cannot believe that man would have introduced the species to the Philippines and not to Borneo.
		Comparison of series of Philippine junglefowl with those from the mainland in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History and the Peabody Museum of Yale University (through the courtesy of Dean Amadon and Philip S. Humphrey, respectively) indicates that the former are, indeed, separable from Gallus g.

		The red jungle fowl is said to be the original "chicken" from which all domestic chickens are descended based on comments and observations made by Darwin.
		in which he expressed the fear that the pure red jungle fowl may be extinct in the wild.
		In view of the geographical distances and time involved, it would appear therefore that there is a strong probability that the birds matching these descriptions must be the true red jungle fowl and that all other so-called red jungle fowl may in fact be birds that have cross-bred with domestic fowls or other similar fowl.

	Melanin ornaments, honesty, and sexual selection Auk, The - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Color differences in all melanin ornaments are, in part, a function of the ratio of the two types of melanins contained, and we outline the intriguingly different metabolic pathways to the formation of the two different categories of melanins.
		Eumelanin is perceived by humans (and presumably by birds) as fl to dark brown, whereas pheomelanin is perceived as light brown, buff, dull red, orange, and yellow (Prota et al.
		Some pheomelanin pigments have the potential to produce brighter reds, oranges, and yellows than may typically be thought to be due to melanins (e.g.

	Sri Lanka Junglefowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sri Lanka Junglefowl, Gallus lafayetii, is a member of the pheasant family which is endemic to Sri Lanka.
		It is a close relative of the Indian Red Junglefowl, Gallus gallus, the wild junglefowl from which the chicken was domesticated.
		Singhalese Junglefowl are unique amongst the junglefowl in the brevity of their incubation which may be as short as twenty days as contrasted with the 21-26 dqays of the Green Junglefowl.

		Because Ceylon Junglefowl are extremely shy by nature, they should be provided with lots of foliage and a large aviary in which to hide.
		Most of the Ceylon Junglefowl?s body is a shiny flish-purple, except for the mantle, breast and outerwing feathers, which have orange borders and fl-brown interiors.
		Ceylon Junglefowl breed in the spring and in August to September.

		About the only noticeable difference between the wild Red Junglefowl on the left and the GL chicken on the right is that one has a string around his leg.

		The first chicken came from the first chicken egg, which was laid by a red junglefowl (Gallus gallus).
		Whether you argue creation or evolution, the fact that humanity predates and is responsible for the speciation of chickens from red junglefowl should lay the "chicken or the egg" question to rest.

		The humble chicken (aka Gallus gallus domesticus) is descended from the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus, for those playing at home).
		The event that led to the separate chicken species, was the domestication of the Red Junglefowl, 5000 years ago in India.
		In that case, the first chicken egg was laid by a Red Junglefowl.

	Navhind Times on the Web: Lifeplus
		RED Jungle Fowl (RJF), a wild ancestor of all domestic chicken is fast declining in numbers throughout the country, wildlife experts say.
		McGowan, however, elaborates on the issue to add that, “status of RJF is not certain and some people think that it is amongst the most common, but others think that it is amongst the rarest because of crossing with domestic or village chickens.
		This would mean that ‘pure’ red junglefowl are very rare indeed, but the real picture is probably somewhere in between.” Fact is that loss of habitat in collusion with genetic-swamping, aggravates the threat to the species’ survival.

	Conservation of the Red Junglefowl
		This material suggested to me that birds showing these same morphological criteria of pure wild stock (e.g., a lack of comb in the females) are also apparently quite rare in the wild and may have indeed been so since before the turn of the century.
		I personally feel that molecular genetic profiles of both wild and captive Red Junglefowl populations are currently in order, and could provide important information for the genetic "screening" of populations of this species.
		In some cases, in fact, DNA profiles of Red Junglefowl have been based on material from zoo populations whose genetic purity and freedom from hybridization, on the basis of the birds' behavior alone, would seem to me to be open to question.
