Chicken Green Jungle Fowl basic information
The coloration of male Green Junglefowl is different from the females; males are mostly green and black feathered. Each male?s head is topped by a light blue comb, which turns purplish red the higher it gets from the head. The wattle is also purplish-red and this is bordered with blue on the edges and yellow nearer the throat. The feathers along the Green Junglefowl?s neck have lighter green and blue patterns, and the wings have copper colored hackles. The hackles on the Javan Junglefowl?s rump are dark green with edges of yellow, and the tail is held low. The female Green Wildfowl is mostly brown. Occasionally her plumage is highlighted by forest green feathers which are patterned so that female Green Junglefowl appear ?scaled?. The female has no comb. The plumage on the underside of her body is lighter brown, with fewer green feathers interspersed.
