They are born in Singapore too --same as -Singaporean -born free

@mattpatterson9235 Год назад

In humid climates, chickens can help keep the insect and small rodent pops in balance.

@ignatiusryd2031 Год назад

And chickens would also become a perfect meal for predatory birds such has hawks, kites, and eagles. Food chain on its perfect balance.

@Armz69 Год назад

True that. Free food for humans too. 😂

@tangt4860 Год назад

The worry is with some many foreigners around and prices of food are shooting through the skies, will these birds end up on some table or mala hot pot.

Why these people complain? They are pest controllers. They help us rid cockroaches. In fact I enjoy hearing roosters' crow. The sound of crowing rooster is soothing sound to me.

Junglefowls in the middle of urban landscape. What a nice sight to behold and a nice alarm clock to wake people in the morning peacefully like in kampongs. Edit: Those who were complaining about their noise were most likely never had experience living in kampongs

@s_shaleh Год назад

@@wendyshoowaiching4161 Stop being so dramatic lah. I have wild chickens in my area too and the roosters will crow at any time they please. It's true they don't stick to a fixed schedule, but it's not loud enough that it would disturb my sleep. Compared to my neighbour's possessed toddlers screaming at the top of their lungs, this is still bearable. I live on a low floor too, so I imagine it'll be less audible for those living on the upper floors.

@s_shaleh Год назад

You're absolutely right. I've never lived in a kampung before. I belong to the HDB generation but I'll admit there's something very peaceful, serene and even amusing about watching them frolicking and going about their usual business amid our concrete jungle.

@hipposamadesu Год назад

Many people mistaken them as chicken. They are actually the endangered species from the jungle. Their chicks are not yellow fur color. Their feet are not yellow color. They are the ancestors of the broiler chicken we domesticated for meat and eggs.

This is their natural habitat, they are truly citizens of Singapore, let them live free, please, just like the otters, who have made Singapore a truly amazing city, a mixture of jungle, and, and Highrise Buildings! #LoveLittleRedDot!

@garrytan9521 Год назад

These families of chickens are very nice. It is also pleasant to see them roaming around freely and naturally in our hard land estates. Certainly and hopefully they would not disturb our residents much. I believe they would not intrude into those residents especially leaving on landed or ground floor houses. May the local authorities, please do not disturb or put them away.

If there're too many in one area, catch some and put the group in another area where there're no chickens.

@PBL_1 4 месяца назад

Based on the dark coloration of their legs and the white flaps of skin the roosters have over their ears, those aren't actual chickens. These are Red Junglefowl which naturally inhabit Singapore and are the closest living relative to the domesticated chicken. Their birthrates are usually closely matched with the local bamboo's seeding cycle so this could be why there was a sudden spike in the population

Despite complaints to NEA about the growing Crow population and yes they flew over or hitched a ride on those lorries from Malaysia but has since gone out of control especially along East Coast and Sentosa Cove, someone in Singapore still prefers them and let them stay and multiply over the attractive forest fowl, just like Ceca.
