Afghani Chickens

[CombatBob]

So I'm currently on deployment in Afghanistan and have started a small flock (1 hen / 1 rooster). The 2 chickens I have are local birds and I have no clue what breed they are. My hen (Annie) is a very good layer of medium white eggs (about 5 per week). She has a fairly dark brown head and neck with light brown body and dark tail feathers. My rooster (Chuck Norris) has a red head and neck with a deep blue and red body and white on the tips of his wings. His tail is also a mix of blue and red. He almost looks like an Aseel which I could see because they're native to India and unfortunately they still use them for cock fights in this part of the world.

Are you the same one who posted a time ago, asking for what to feed your chickens? If so, welcome back. It's good to see you again.

If not,

We're glad to have you here.

As far as your birds, they look like a mix, but the roo does look much like an Aseel.

I bet they are Asils or Malays.

X3 But there are many other breeds out of the USA that I have no clue about.

They do look like like maylays, but (I know this don't make sense) they also look a bit like cubalayas.

What about Cluck Norris? He needs a proper harem.
