Quite unusual to get a request for commentary on a long snoozed page.I still have my birds but I don't come here any more bcz it's mostly beginners w/ fluffy-butts.I've been raising/breeding/selling game fowl for almost 60 years and the level of conversation here is kinda painful,even stupid, at...

interested in trading some eggs? I have some beautiful crele/dom ,silver/blue crele and blonde Brazilians, Kulang asil and Hennie Ganoi,interested in some of your Pak's...
$10/egg,min of 4 + shipping,I can get a set out the door in a few days if you don't mind combining eggs,otherwise,if you want one color it may take a week or more for a set as they don't lay a lot of eggs,they'll lay a set and take a week or two off.
The crele cock gets cycled over a dk red,a...
candle and see where the air cell is if you're worried but eggs get incubated naturally on their side,not on end,I think standing them on their pointy ends is just to fit more eggs,good incubator,had three,two 20's and a 40, for 20+ yrs and work very well for me
those aint asil,crosses maybe but far from any kind of clean bloodline,look at the faces/beak,seriously outcrossed...not supposed to be any wattles on an asil,
domestic breed roosters tend to be over-sexed and hormonally driven and they def have a fav they will keep going back to over and over and ignore the others,the only solution other'n gettin rid of the roo is isolate the affected hen,but that's not fair to her cuz he's the problem
W/ all due respect to prindelpride,I'd have to disgaree w/ some of what you said.
Regarding Polish, I've had a few and all the the roo's were jerks,abusive of their women and attacked ppl.The hens were bullies too.Birds like that are called "chicken soup." at my place.
Regarding your statements...
Malay are pretty calm too but asil don't know when to stop,even if they can barely stand they'll keep fighting,size of opponent doesn't matter to them,not the best bird for a flock situation if there are any other male birds,regardless of breed
If you want a big,tall bird look into Thai fowl;friendlier and smarter and will get along w/ whoever they grow up w/.
Asil will fight their mom and are very feisty,good flock watchdog but like a chow in that they will probably only be nice to one person.
when there is no rooster at least one and sometimes several hens will act like roosters and try to mount the subordinate hens,pretty much looks like whats going on w/ the back and neck feathers missing,that's not just bored picking,sit in your coop for half an hour and observe who the culprit is...
