A female Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus spadiceus) and her chicks drinking from a forest pool in Western Thailand


The Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) is a tropical member of the family Phasianidae. The range of the wild form stretches from Tamil Nadu, South India (where it has almost certainly been diluted with cross breeding from domestic breeds), eastwards across southern China and into Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia. There are two subspecies that occur in Thailand namely G. g. gallus (also occurs in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam) and spadiceus (also occurs in Myanmar).
