Rajah Murgh Aseel as Cornish antecessors

[nicalandia]

I am now fully focused on Rajah Murgh of the best quality and every time I see them I see Cornish(the English Type not the broilers) with less meat on them but with the same bone thickness, wide breasts and broad shoulders, I belive these were the backbone of the Breeding project that lead to the creation of the Dark Cornish. It is said that Malay was used but you don't see thick bones on those

So what’s a good way to tell the difference between Cornish and aseels? I’ve really been considering getting a couple of aseels.

I see it, though I believe the bone is even heavier on these than a good Cornish!

Well, I've seen Cornish males with thicker bones.

Ah, yes! Guess it's been a while since I've seen a good one, LOL. Yes, you're right. They look nearly identical minus the "meat"! The American-type Cornish is descended from the UK (?) Indian Game, no? I know virtually nothing about the development of this type of bird. It is very fascinating, though. I would like to learn more.

According to Cornish history, the Malay and Asil were used and crossed to a English Type Gamefowl. But I just can't see Malay blood. That is why I believe that it was the Rajah Murgh type Asil.

Here is the Sire of my Pullet(the hen in the vídeo it's not the dame)
