Introduction

These hybrids have 3 major bloodlines in them. They carry the Richardson, Eugene King's and the Vietnamese RJF line. Basically, this is how they came about...The original breeder, Eugene King aquired some of his jungle fowls from two places. Some are from the Laos strain (Laos Jungle Fowl) and some are from the Sri Lanka strain. He crossed them and bred them for what seems to be HIS best trait. He then later on crossed his breeding line with the Richardsons that he bought for $200 and sold some of their offsprings. These were also collected by my good friend and she crossed them in one generation with her pure Vietnamese line. So here you have it, a RJF fowl with some really major and well known lines in them. I currently have 7 of these. Started with 14 but gave a few here and there to friends and family to raise along.
