    Breeding Aseels

    From what I can determine, that is not the problem at all. Four Aseels, including effected cock were out in weather when it got below 0 F. Only one had foot issues at all, and it was the cock. He was the only one have a reduced weight owing to worm burden. Underweight limits capacity to generate...

    Breeding Aseels

    My cock above got hammered by frost bite and will likely loose most if not all of his right foot. During recovery he has been moved inside to be a house shicken (play on words). Floor easy to clean. He super tame and yet to attack any mirrors or trash cans, nor has he gone down stairs. I am...

    Breeding Aseels

    The Aseels show far more pen fidelity than than the American Games or American Dominiques. When I move the pens, the Aseels return to correct pen the very first night when moved a very short distance or a very long distance, and when the pen is moved a few tens of feet. The others are like honey...

    Breeding Aseels

    An Aseel cross stag got into a scrap with and American Game stag from the brooder reared batch currently in raised outdoor pen. Fight started when the group was released to forage until dark. Aseel cross stag rapid inflicted damage of sort I do not see with American on American. Method is very...

    Breeding Aseels

    Multiple battles involving Aseels today. First the lone stag got into it with his older sister today. My female English Shepherd went over to bite at them a bit when they buckled. After I bit before real damage I picked stag and replaced with his brood mates. An hour or so later he got into it...

    Breeding Aseels

    Looks like to of my younger brooder reared "Aseels" are actually a cross between Aseel stag and gray toppy hen. Pullet I knew to be cross all along owing to marks on her from hatch and well developed topknot. Stag is showing a much less obvious topknot and has grey feathers coming through. If he...

    Breeding Aseels

    I put out a tray of old fish for chickens. Aseel hen and her juveniles were among first to arrive. For some chickens approaching from downwind smell appears to be important. That will have to tested again as the birds are stacking up downwind of where the fish pan is now. Hen and her kids drove...

    Breeding Aseels

    Everyone is getting fat, I mean everyone. Consumption of persimmons is part of problem. The adult male is getting real close to what I call a cock. He weighs a good 1.5 lbs more than he did when he first became a bullstag. He is now a real chunk. The hen still associates with juvenile offspring...

    Breeding Aseels

    Hen in process of weaning now. Her clucking is getting weak and chicks starting to drift off on their own more. They still do not range like the Americans. The American Game hen with chicks two days younger is clucking well and taking her brood way out into pasture and woods.

    Breeding Aseels

    Chick / juvenile Aseels at 7 weeks are starting to molt in second feather set that they will be in through their first breeding season as adults. The similar-aged American Games are a couple weeks ahead into their second feather set and all those feathers will be replaced yet again before the...

    Breeding Aseels

    Larger is brooder-reared pullet roughly 7 weeks older than hen-reared cockerel. Pullet is 14 weeks and cockerel is 7 weeks post-hatch. Cockerel was victor roughly 20 seconds after video ended. I do not see battles with such size disparity result in same outcome with American Games. Still, there...

    Breeding Aseels

    Broody hen with her six chicks. One of the chicks decided to put a whooping on a slightly younger American Game chick, the American Game hen would have nothing of it and whooped the Aseel. Then Aseel hen went after American Game and American Game turned the Aseel back. The American Game either...

    Breeding Aseels

    Pullet from first earlier brooder reared batch is getting good size and favors her father a lot in the type department. She fluffed up for a good shake just as picture taken. She is also showing color in the face, much earlier than American Games. Hen with chicks visible in the background...

    Breeding Aseels

    Aseel bullstag just lost the majority of his tail. Temperature got into low 90's after being considerably cooler for a week. I think that set molt off. All his body feathers are getting the dry look. Looks like he will soon be flightless. I pulled him out to check on wings, he will be swapping...

    Breeding Aseels

    Aseel chicks a bit different when engaging in inter-brood battles. Both American Games and Aseels will engage individuals and even groups of immature birds not of their group. Net effect of that is territories. What is different is the Aseels of both sexes will back out of a feeding scrum to...

    Breeding Aseels

    Aseel bullstag is starting to show signs of feather replacement in wings. Only feather coming in is filling gap of right wing that I thinks disqualifies him for show. That feather is nearly white. My guess is feather was intentionally pulled.

    Breeding Aseels

    Maybe you should share knowledge elsewhere. The thread, from its conception, does not align with you. It is about breeding Aseels, not the other breeds.

    Breeding Aseels

    Lets clarify,we are talking about Aseels. The other stuff is not. The other Asians are not. Making crosses is not. Aseels are not bred for free-range. They are bred for keeping in tight quarters that are very well tighly managed with food options very close to people food. Aseels are different...
