Too funny! The Oregon Scientific monitor transmits back to a base station. It give me humidity and temp. The problem is the monitor has a tiny red light that flashes when it updates every ten seconds. Those little junglefowl try and peck it each time it flashes. As you can see they sometimes wait to peck at it. Temp runs a cool 90 with 50% humidity.

No crickets or grasshopers. My wife has a phobia for crickets. Long story about mean brothers locking her in a basement.
I think the mealworms will work for now. I did not expect them to go so nuts over them.

Keep a very sharp eye out for toe picking.

I have been looking out for the toe picking since the toes look like mealworms. Another question I had 6 eggs that came from another pair, but only one was fertile and it hatched today. This makes him a lot younger than the others. Currently he is in a brooder by himself. What should I do with him? Can he go in with the older ones at some point soon?

If you can put them in separate boxes side by side, or even better, in one, but separated by wire, they should, in time get along, fine. Don't forget to have feeders/waterers on both sides of partition.
You could try putting them together, at first, but only while you can stand right there, to referee. Either way, dim lights will help (with toe picking, also).

When nuts are outlawed, only outlaws will have nuts, look at France.

Given their true nature, how wild are they acting..? ?

They are a little on the insane side. They tend to flush like little quail when I walk in the room. They are currently in a 3 foot by 3 1/2 foot box that is 28 inches high with a wire top.
I was further amazed how fast they got flight feathers!
