Still have plenty of hatching eggs if any one needs some.

I wish I could but hubby would have a heart attack... fearing boy chicks being hatched.

If aseel hens are in a mixed breed flock, will they allow the hens from less aggressive breeds to back down from a fight, or are they likely to bully even a submissive hen?

 

[JRNash]

My only aseel was bat**** crazy. If you've got good birds the hens will massacre the others

 

[Temujin]

Probably depends on how crowded/how much space they have. Plenty of perches will also help. Not knowing the mixture of the flock, I would say the aseel will likely be the alpha hen in very short order.

One of the people I know who raises strictly aseel had a hen that killed 3 year old cocks that he attempted to breed with her.

Quality hens are just as aggressive as the roosters. They originally were not allowed to breed until the had proven their ability to kill.
