Indian Red Jungle Fowl are very healthy birds that require little maintenance. While they can be kept in a backyard coop, it is not necessary. The skittish nature of this bird combined with its roosting instinct makes it the perfect free-range chicken.
 
These low-maintenance pet chickens are excellent foragers. When kept in the backyard in either a movable coop or as a free-range fowl, the chickens will supplement their diet with insects. The chicken's excrement acts as an excellent fertilizer, and as long as they are not confined to one area, the yard will benefit from their presence.

Indian Red Jungle Fowl are thought to be the progenitor of all domesticated chickens. This species originated in Asia.Males are brightly colored with large bright red combs. The upper neck, back feathers, and the tips of the wings are bright orange. The lower body feathers tend to look black at a distance, but shine metallic green or gray in the sun.

Hens have dull brown, gold color that enables them to blend into their surroundings. This offers the hen additional protection from predators when nesting.

Baby Chicks have light brown or gold coloring with black streaks on the back and around the eyes.
