Hello I was wondering is there anything to know before getting asil chickens like or they aggressive , friendly to humans , good with hens / roosters what to feed them

A lot of it depends on the line.

Almost every single aseel/asil rooster will not tolerate others. It will be possible to keep multiple males if you free range.
Any mix breed offspring from my aseel male (although his quality was debatable), didn’t inherit the fighting instincts.
They are generally ok with hens. Almost all males take a lot longer to mature, and before they do, they see everyone as a potential sparring partner.
Best to keep them with females of the same breed, or of other Oriental Gamefowl breeds. A mixed group can be done, but make sure that the females are not of an incredibly docile breed, or too small in size.

Aseel hens can also be quite territorial. Fierce when raising a brood. If penned, don’t go with more than three hens per pen. In a large group, the number can be higher.

All this is very relative of course, as you get no real guarantees. But when dealing with a primitive fighting breed, it’s best to be on the safer side.

I’ve never met a truly human aggressive aseel. Most of the game breeds had that rigorously bred out.
Still, they definitely choose their person(s). They are some of the brightest birds out there, and will be wary of strangers.

Don’t know what your setup is, or why you’re planning to get any, but here are some other points.
I’ve found that they do better on a higher protein diet. I supplemented whatever they caught while foraging with meat scraps as often as I could.
The hens are rather poor layers. They produce one clutch, which they then brood. If it’s early enough, they might go for a second round.
Maturation is heavily line dependent, but I wouldn’t expect anything before six months of age. Mine didn’t crow before the eight month mark, and wasn’t sexually active until a couple of weeks after than (and again, mine was probably not the best “quality”).

Good luck!

Are you asking for a specific feed brand? If so, I can’t give any recommendations, as I’m guessing you live in the US, and I get mine from a local mill.

Most versed Gamefowl breeders make their own feed I suppose, but I’m definitely not one of them.
Mine was kept in a slightly more standard pen/free range flock setting, and so are the mixes I have now.
They did fine on the standard feed (your version of all flock/chick feed I believe), and got daily meal scraps. Meat as regularly as I could provide
