    American Reza (Pakistani) Asil

    This Judge John Henry Thomas Leiper. He fed, handled, and bred Sanford Hatch's birds; but, supposedly, despised Sandy Hatch, and thought very little of his fowl. Leiper appears to an equal to Hatch in terms of education and wealth ( unlike Kearney to Duryea), so the idea of Leiper working for...

    American Reza (Pakistani) Asil

    Basically, I am trying to figure out the Oriental connection as it regards the Modern Game, Roundhead, and Leiper Fowl. I have a really good book called "Understanding Modern Games", and the author disputes Malay was ever used in its creation, says he tried for 40 years and never got the cross...

    American Reza (Pakistani) Asil

    Supposedly, the Malay foundation cock for the Rhode Island Red is on display at the Smithsonian Museum-- stuffed, obviously. It would be interesting to see it and see if it resembles what we call a Malay today. The reasoning for using a Malay over American barnyard hens was to increase egg...

    American Reza (Pakistani) Asil

    I think with chickens, the lack of pedigree makes assessing blood lines/origins a fools errand, really. Even Dr.Clarke said he could create a Cornish and not even use what is commonly thought of as parent stock. As far as the Roundheads, I have researched those pretty extensively. I think we...

    American Reza (Pakistani) Asil

    Above is the link about the Clarke importations. Archive.org. The fighting assessment on.Asils was from a book about American.Gamefowl written in the very late 1800's. It, too, mentions Dr. Clarke-- but only one sentence. Lol. No.... Asils evidently are biters, and thus worthless for spur...

    American Reza (Pakistani) Asil

    I also so a copy of a letter written by Allen about his Allen Roundhead gamefowl, and he states Asil was never used in their creation. We often read about "Japs" in the early literature, but no one states what they are. I can't imagine it's Shamo. I do think Malay is pivotal to many breeds...

    American Reza (Pakistani) Asil

    I have literature from the day that states Dr H. P. Clarke imported Cornish Games (Indian Games). The Dr wrote extensively about Cornish Games and only mentions Asil and Malay in passing.

    Oriental Gamefowl Thread!

    These are unreal. They look better than Modern English gamefowl in some ways. How did they get legs longer than the Shamo?
