If you ask me which one of the most #beautiful chicken in the world is, I'll definitely say our Javanense Green #Junglefowl ( #Gallus varius ), which is endemic to #Java Island. You can see in the picture that the male has a #rainbow face.

Sun. chicken nugget: on Kauai chickens out number humans 6 to 1. So they go where they want, even if you don't want them to. Watch out for that chicken crossing the road! #chickenfacts #junglefowl

Sunday Chicken Nugget: did you know that a Rooster's comb can tell you about his health? If a rooster's comb is pale, he could just be molting or overheated, but it could also be anemia (because of lice, mites, or worms). Picture from Unsplash by Chuttersnap. #rooster #chickenfact #junglefowl
