4581. WILDLIFE SINGAPORE. Red junglefowl hen and chicks - 2 episodes.

SINGAPORE WILDLIFE

In late 2022, this red junglefowl roams freely on the grounds of the Singapore General Hospital with his flock of around 4 others. He crows loudly. I saw a little girl, probably China National with her parents, cupping her ears with her hands as she stood listening. He looked young and knew no fears about human beings. I don't see them in early 2023.

The red junglefowl is kept as pets in some houses or permitted to roam the outside as in Lentor Estate.
The roaming ones are rarely seen after a few days.

JUNGLEFOWL HEN.

7 Jul 2025. 9.24 am. The busy Junglefowl hen forages for seeds and insects in Lentor Estate. The 6 chicks had to keep up with her or be left behind. No waiting by the mum.

I used Photoshop to "dodge" white streaks on chicks and back feathers of the hen
 to make them stand out.
