I am starting to breed my own blood line of Aseel and want a good book to read, to know about colour genetics, comb genetics, body shape and more.


What is a good in depth book on poultry genetics?
 
I don't know of any books, but I do know of a youtube channel (not mine) that has a series of how to breed poultry to get a certain color/ pattern.

If you want the link, it's here

You can use the link or not, just adding what helped me
 
Does it have info on game fowl such as aseel.

I read it once, but it was some years ago.
I don't remember noticing anything specifically about gamefowl.
They should have the same genes as other chickens--pea comb vs. single comb work the same in any breed, color genetics work the same in any breed, and so forth.

For the genetics of chicken colors, there are some good online resources too.

That's a calculator where you can select genes from a drop-down box and see the chicken pictures change, and calculate the offspring from a given cross; and a page that talks about the color genetics.
