Breeding Aseels

[Danish aseels]

I am feeding him a diet like my other games with a protein level that ranges 13 to 18% crude protein. Supplementation comes from a mixed grain mix that includes black oil sunflower seed.

No signs of molt.

Could you send pictures of your seeds mix? I think what you’re feeding to your chickens is about the same as what I am feeding to my chickens

I have had roosters who have skipped a moult in end of winter and then moulted in the end of summer it is not a big problem unless you are thinking of showing him and he has broken feathers. Your bull-stag might just be a late moulter and start moulting in a few weeks.

Where did you get?

We ordered hatching eggs of mixed Orientals off the Internet all have Aseel in them but... only 3 birds hatched, one failed to thrive it could never really move right, and the eggs that didn’t hatch I did crack them open all had fully formed chicks inside... something went wrong in incubator at the end. I am hoping we have a boy and a girl... but a bit to soon to tell for sure. I could not recover the code on the second one’s egg shell so it could be cross Thai, Brazilian, Shamo, or other Oriental breed.

Currently his feathers are in very good shape. He may be a late starter. Overall, his feathering is on the high end of what I see of Aseels on the internet. Most on internet show clear signs of overly tight confinement likely coupled with external parasite issues.

Thanks for this thread. For a couple of months now I've been planning a cross between aseels and some of my jungle fowl hybrids to increase their size, muscle, and put some more fire in them, with my ultimate goal to improve their survival in nearly-wild to full wild conditions. I have some sonatols in the incubator that are due in a few days. The info here has been very helpful.

Most of the aseels here have broken/damaged feathers because of being kept in small steel cages

This is what I feed my chickens

First round of embryos that contains the Aseel is about 75% hatched. Zero Aseels so far. American Dominiques and Missouri Domininques have been consistently faster than my American Games. American Games just starting to hatch.

Interesting, so the different breeds are requiring slightly different incubation length?

I can only speak to one breed; my Jungle Fowl hybrids, which are bantams, consistently come on days 18-19 with the hatch being done around day 20. Rare it is that I have a hatch that goes into day 21.

I have four aseel in the incubator that will go into day 18 lockdown tomorrow morning.
