Title: Jungle cock capes.
Post by: Bob Mitchell on 12/01/2018 at 10:13

Anyone know were I can get a jungle cock cape at a reasonable price. As it is for my own use a few split ends do not matter.
Used to breed jungle fowl with my ornamental pheasants and they were just as easy so why are they so dear. When you look at the price for a full golden pheasant skin why does the jungle fowl cost many times more.

Somers had a post up the other day saying they had capes in at a reasonable price. I have had a few off them and they have all been ok.
