No matter what anyone says on here Pure Asils do have a color pattern and that is what I believe. When crossing and mixing is when the particular genes of a breed get mixed up.If it is Pure Asil it could be Dark Red Ghan Asils that are pictured at http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Games/Asil/BRKAsil.html. Now whether or not you chicken is pure there is no telling. But the old gamers say if you inbreed that the offspring will show what breeds are in it.

Just because there are only a few accepted by APA doesn't mean that they have to conform to those standards (unless showing in an APA show). There are also different strains that throw different characteristics (i.e. Hyderabads). Asil are recognized in BBR and dark varieties in the APA, but if you cross those two, you are not going to get one or the other, but the bird is still pure Asil, just not a recognized variety.

I agree with Dustin, It is an Asil or part Asil, AND Asil come in many colors.

Wouldn't it depend on what you are crossing it with that would throw offspring that split the parentage? I mean, the rooster's genes are in there too. If you were to breed this girl with a roo who has the same split parentage, then you would get offspring that would look like either one or the other breed that were in the parents line? Unless, you were able to breed her to a roo that was either her father's or mother's breed. I hope I made sense, I know it all gets confusing to people when you talk crossings like that. I even get a little confused with while I am trying to muddle through the question.

You are apparently a now it all about chickens so there is no point to express my opinion. I was not try to get corrected, just trying to express my opinion, and let everyone else do the same. But I guess everyone does not matter just you.

All Hale Dustin Biery.

Maybe you can teach everyone in the world everything about Asil chickens.

I have seen Dustins posts often and I believe that he is very knowledgable, and I completely agree with him. He was just expressing his reasons for his opinion, he did nothing wrong.

Yeah kinda confusing but will try to answer you questions...if I miss some sorry.
Yes it would depend on what you cross. From what the old gamers taught me was inbreeding brother and sister off of the same hatch. So only if you have her brother who has the same parents will you be able to tell. Any other crossing would defeat the purpose and thus inter new blood. The more you cross the more unpredictable your resulting offspring will be. Say that this hen is a cross: If you where to breed this hen back to a rooster that is of her pure/true breed bloodline(whatever it maybe) then any other bloodlines in the offspring would be diluted even more. You can breed what is considered "pure" if you do this with selective breeding, but the other bloodline(s) will always be there and could show up sometime.
Hope this is a little less confusing.

I agree that her face definitely looks like an Asil hen, but don't asils usually have thicker legs and stand up much straighter? Then again, hatchery stock isn't necessary 100% pure bred and usually doesn't meet standards, so who knows.

I also agree that she look like a Chantecler.

While I am here...let me add that I am far from an expert!
