i put cubalaya stags in with asil hens to teach them manners. they are much better cocks for it. when you breed a pair of asils the hen will always fight the cock. attention should be given to the maturity of both birds or you will have deaths. 1 to 2 years is best for hens although they will be good mothers for the rest of their lives. 18 months to 5 years is good for cocks. more pics:








youngsters; note the pearl eyes, yellow legs, square shanks, and upright stance

What type of asil are they on the second n 3rd picture?

The Asil or Aseel is a breed of chicken originating from the South Punjab/Sindh area of Pakistan and India. Asils were first used for sport, but are gaining popularity in the exhibition world. The breed is generally unstandardised in South Asia and India, but popularity has increased in the western world in recent times with the breed standardised in the British, Australian and American standards.

Asils are not recommend for beginner chicken keepers as they can be "a handful". They are known to be very aggressive towards other chickens, the chicks often fight when they are just a few weeks old and mature roosters will fight each other to death. Hens can also be very aggressive towards each other and it is advised that they be kept separated. Towards humans Asils are generally very tame though.

The hens are not good layers, but make excellent broodies. Egg production depends on the Asil variety, the small Asil are known to be very poor layers, sometimes laying just 6 eggs a year, whereas larger Asil can lay around 40 eggs a year.

Details:

Breed purpose: Ornamental
Comb: Pea
Broodiness: Frequent, excellent mothers
Climate Tolerance: All
Egg Production: Poor
Breed Colours/Varieties: Black breasted red, wheaten, dark, spangled, and white, duckwing, blue breasted red, and black.

This historic information you have here, what is your source? because it sounds like colonial information. There are ancient scriptures, book of manu, vedic texts, and hieroglyphics that say different. Lord Murughan his wife aditya, Shiva, Kali, This is where the history of the Murgha starts. When Hindustan was conquered thats when the name went to asil, the conquerors tried to change everything like any conqueror does when they take over. However the Brahman caste hid their Indian history and heritage from almost everyone, as Indians dont like anyone knowing about certain things. The bird was taken by conquerors and different strains were developed mainly by warriors and underling soldiers. The different castes are responsible for certain things in Indian culture. The Brahmans lead, direct, heal, teach, direct, uplift, and advance things for the better of humanity. The middle caste mainly falling under the punjabi blood, are built for the structural labour, maintaining law and order, so the fireman, military, agriculture, construction, general operation of society etc. they are built bigger, they were gifted the murgha from the brahman Raja who preserved them. These generals or sergeants created different strains by crossing pitters and so forth. Explorers, tradesman then were introduced to the bird and things took off in different directions. This is ancient history and just a quick non detailed bullet point.
There has been a huge influx of indian migrants who entered north america the last 5 years. From all parts of india. When i apporach them and ask about asil, they have a bent blank look, they come back with the word us-lee, " you mean us-lee?" but if i say Murgha, " oh you mean the fighting bird?" Even on south india or tamil regions, temples of lord Murughan are everywhere, they hold a huge respect and sculptures of the cock the fowl are carved or painted everywhere. This is all stemmed from the Holy Wars. Hindu/Muslim.
The egg resembles the seed which sprouts life. The fowl differs from the north to the south and east and west regions in india. Shiva in the north, kali to the south. durga to the east and ganesha to the west. The birds resemble those dieties in one way or another. Size, character, structure. ability etc. When the british invaded india, and a lot of these fowl were imported to america, the colonial history of the asil was brought with it. This is what we know and have lived over the centuries. Like all strains of asil they have their own history given their point in time. I am talking about ancient hidden from conquerors history. True to Murgha history. The cream of the crop, the bird, was preserved and kept by the brahmans, they were not exported unless taken with a migrant brahman to another country due to the religion and the brahmans position with the fowl. He may have been the chosen brahman blood that is responsible for preserving the bird in its original blood genetic form. Notice i said blood genetic form, because centuries of inbreeding have Concentrated the blood. Without adding anything new to it. The breeding practice basically cycles around the recreation of the bird as it was so many centuries ago. There are increments of 3, 5,6, 8 years with specific practices in those times to keep the blood in its original form. So i can go on and on. As this is the life we grew up in. Real History does not lie.
