Hi everyone, I'm new to BYC, AND chickens in general!

[spatdi]

I have 3 hens that I recently found out were Asil's. Pearl(black) is the Momma, Penny(6mos-wheaton) and Snowy(6mos-white). However I think they are mixed because while I see some known characteristics, Pearl is a good layer. From what I've read the breed is not known to be good egg layers.
Anyone that has experience with the breed?

Thanks for the welcome! How many chickens do you have, and what breed(s)?

Greetings from Kansas, spatdi, and

! Great to have you in our flock. "Chicken Math" refers to people (like me) saying, "Oh, I'll just get 2 chickens...that's all I need. Oh, wait, there's this one breed I have always wanted to have so I better get one of those, too. And, the hatchery is running a special that I should really take advantage of"....etc. Before long your "two" chickens has grown to a huge flock, all due to chicken math!
About aseels/asils...I know nothing but here is a link you might try: https://www.backyardchickens.com/products/aseel
Best of luck to you!

HI Spadti. This is one of the best chicken websites that I've found. I hope you find the information that you're looking for, somethings that you wouldn't think about before chickens, and friends that have similar interests
