    Can you point a brother to some Parrot beaks or long tails?

    Yeah there's definitely American game in there.

    I really like the birds above that have the lacing in them, I have paired them together. The rooster and darker hen came from the offspring of the second pairing, and the lighter hen came from offspring of the first pairing. Any tips for enhancing lacing are welcomed and appreciated.

    The second pairing produced colors that I really like. And an even more diverse color patterns amongst roosters and hens. Similar with the first group variations in body type.

    From the first group I got a plethora of variations in color and body type amongst the roosters. Hens had slight variation in colors.

    Prior to which I had a Magada Blue Asil cross with a Hennie I got from a local breeder, I paired him with the 2 leftover hens.

    My "American Asil"?😂😉

    A couple raised these birds since the late 80s. After the husband passed, the wife was unable to care for the birds after a predator attack wiped out almost 75 birds. She made a post in a chicken group for Asils to a good home. So I drove 3 hours after work to pick them up. Upon arrival she's...

    Asil cross sickle feather selection

    I didn't consider the molt changing it. 😭 Guess I'll revisit this pipe dream after the molt with updates. 😂 If he doesn't keep them he's the most unique bird off the mix. He's always had lacing like a hen and he's slowly lost it on his back as he's matured. And when he flares his hackles, all of...

    Asil cross sickle feather selection

    I have a rooster whose tail feathers flare left and right rather than down. I like the look and am wanting to try and replicate/enhance that trait in future offspring. He is pictured. Are there any specific traits in hens I should look for to breed him back to, in order to achieve this?

    Rooster with no head... Name that predator

    It ended up being a coon. Clamp trap and peanut butter with an egg on top for the win.

    Rooster with no head... Name that predator

    I'm currently dealing with coon/possum. Lost 2 stags in 3 days. First was a 2 month old pulled it thru the wire and ate everything except a leg, wings, and the guts. Put my trap out with the remnants of him and a couple eggs and it filled up the trap with dirt so it couldn't latch and got the...

    Beak issue, previously treating for swollen head syndrome, need advice.

    I felt like that was a possibility, but also felt I was being too optimistic. I appreciate the quick response. Thank you.

    Beak issue, previously treating for swollen head syndrome, need advice.

    I have a young(2-3 months) gamefowl (Asil/Hennie x Asil/?) cross. He was raised with 6 other chicks by 2 hens(5+ years old) After they hatched we put them in the brooder(3ft W x 8ft L x 2 1/2ft H) . This was the 3rd batch of chicks these hens gave us this year, so we decided to put the hens in...

    Game hen

    It is a cross. Trying to figure out where that coloring comes from, I can't find an example of a gamefowl hen with black head and brown body. The blue wing tips comes from the Father, he is supposed to be a Magadha Blue Asil/Hennie cross, mother is an Asil grade.
