You don’t have much experience with Asil/Orientals do you. The standard does say no wattles but that is just a written standard as there are many Asils that have small wattles it’s just a matter of selection. Now don’t get me wrong I prefer clean heads but know better.
I may be wrong on the first pic of the cock as his eyes look light orange but in the last pics there closer shots and he has nice light pearl eyes..this is what you want, the lighter the better. Some will come a white pearl color or light blue and yellow, some come with the blood veins what we...
You never really know all you can go by is the mans word and observation. From just looks yours is a Atkinson type but cant say for sure if he’s 100%. If you had the hen side I’d be able to know more. Example Atkinson's come streaky black breasted reds in the cocks The hens for the most part...
Red, here goes the Atkinson Asil were brought back from England by well known cocker Leslie Melville. He got them from Henry Parsons who inherited Herbert Atkinsons Asils, Muffs, and Pyles. Atkinson brought back the true Asils of India and brought them back to England. Les kept them pure and not...
Earlobes in a breed of chickens that normally come red can turn white due to intensive inbreeding. I have a family of Atkinson Aseel that have the pale white in there lobes. This strain always came with red earlobes..
Could be a number of things. Gapeworm, CRD, etc. I would worm her with Valbazen 1/2 cc for medium size bird 1/4 for bantams and for large breeds 1 cc. Orally. This will get rid of all poultry worms including gape, follow up in 10 days very important. If it’s CRD all you can do is treat symptoms...
These pens are chain link dog kennels 6+6+12 ft. They have corrugated metal roofing for the side walls,gates, and roof. The roosts are pvc pipe over rebar concreted into the ground. I keep my birds separate once they start up so they stay in good feather and flesh.
Well in my case my whites are throwbacks to a white cock in there background. Mine are black reds coming solid black to different shades of black reds always with black wings. I kept back a real good white cock and started a line of whites by linebreeding him to my black hens then kept the best...
So true I really don’t like to call anything pure as there all set from crosses. Names are just that what I look at is the man behind the chickens. Names just tell you what and how they should look and act. I have a line of the old line Melville Atkinsons that are about as inbred as you’ll find...
That’s cool I’m sure you enjoy them as you obviously take great care of them. To many want these birds but fail to take proper care of them. One thing I hate to see is waterers so green with algae and filthy water. I rinse and give fresh clean water every morning at daylight And ever so often I...
In Gamefowl there are many different families of pure lineage.Examples are Wingate Brown Reds, Kelsos, Clarets, Roundheads , Butchers, Sid Taylor’s and these are just a few. They were all originated by cock fighters of yesteryear. Most are from setting crosses as a strain by selective breeding...
