I was told this rooster came from Pakistan? Edited

I'm confused? How did you get a live bird transported into the U.S.?

He probably meant that the breed came from there.

She didn't, the bird was given to them by a guy that told her they came from Pakistan. I'm assuming he meant the original line and that they have actually been in the US for quite a few years. They were probably originally imported when the restrictions weren't so harsh.

He clearly has a pea comb not a rose comb. Also I think you'll find that Leghorns have white ear lobes not red lobes.
He looks a little heavy in the body to be a Aseel but strains do differ.

I looked up Asil and the one I found looks exactly like him. I'll have to talk DH into finding a home for him. He was talking about breeding him to our PR just to see if they have pretty colored babies. The idea for show is a good one. I'll have to research it some more

Thank you all for your help.

The story I got was the man across the street said his dad had them shipped from Pakistan. I have no idea if that is true. He may be misunderstood himself about it and that the breed is from Pakistan. I don't know really. He is a beautiful bird though.

Also, he has no waddles. Look at the head shot. But he has large spurs. Definatlly a roo.
