Yeah, I am just getting into orientals. So my knowledge is limited. But like Malays there are some pretty passive lines of asils. A quality most breeders breed out. The difference is Malay breeders (the ones I have been made aware of) breed for more body type, and less attitude. But we can...
I agree with everything you have said about their history, but what I am talking about is currant Malays. They are not game, despite their being classified as gamefowl. Malays were at some point asils (as were all oriental gamefowl.) But like dogs are to wolves they are far removed from that...
They are still considered gamefowl, but so are OEGB. Asils will fight to the death from a week old (so I've heard, my asil thia mixes fought that young but they would still run) Maylay males can be housed together permanently. As you do with yours.
