No, Indo and Azog have been molting for the last couple of months. I’m going to wait for them to finish, as their weight will change when all their feathers are in. Molts on my farm last about 3 months. As it seems universal across bloodlines, breeds, and nutritional variances, the latitude must...

I’ll try to get better pics later. I’m pushing to get the woods paddock cleared of varmints so the terrorfowl can go there. Then I’ll let Sherman free range a day or two then put him to the Liege.

Sherman giving me good poses but from a bad angle for shadows. I can see his pen from my porch. I love watching him stroll around in the distance. He looks like a secretary bird.

4.5 month Thai x aseel, line bred, stag of Bigtom Turkey’s stock.

The bekisar would be an example of a hybrid junglefowl that shows some oriental gamefowl-like traits.

That’s where my mind always goes when contemplating oriental gamefowl. Are they really just highly modified red junglefowl? Or do they represent another Gallus line? They look and act like they’re something different, except that they speak the same language as all chickens. I have considered...

Its not “my” chickens, the scientific study I linked indicates that domestic chickens as a whole have larger brains than wild red junglefowl per the scientific data.

https://www.nature.com/articles/srep34031 This discussion about aseel intelligence got me thinking about brain size differences between domestic chickens and wild junglefowl. In most domesticated animals, domestication seems to correlate with smaller brain sizes than those of their wild...

My aseel x Liege cross will pull my shorts down from behind to demand feed. I don’t know if that’s intelligence or not but it is personality. Looks like this, except the kid is a fat middle aged man and the dog is a weird looking rooster.

Some of the demarcations originally referred to color types, others to localities, and over time the lines between how a sub breed was defined became blurred. For example, Sonatol used to be a reference to the BBR or Wheaten colored aseel, but now it means a particular line with a certain body...

Pure isn’t always better. I suspect the Wahls are superior to a lot of what’s available in the US for the reason that they may have had some fresh blood added in decades past. It depends on if purity for the sake of purity, or robust health and functionality, are more important to you. I...

I haven’t offered hatching eggs for general sale in over a year, and I only tried breeding the Wahl Aseel birds pure once. All of my lines and breedings I’ve infused with the Wahl aseel are Liege and bankivoid crosses.

That’s what mine were that I used as the base of my breeding projects. They’re good birds. Strong game drive. The only negative I can say is that one in 3 would have scissor beak out of the black line. I figure that’s the nature of tightly bred aseel. Also, mine carried recessive straight comb...

Yes it looked much better before it got plucked Indo and Azog weigh the same, but Azog is much larger in frame and height. Here he is with a 2 gallon waterer and American gamefowl-sized hens for scale.

Aseel x Liege stag and brood cock as of today. They brawled hard this morning when Indo the brood cock went running under me at the door of the stag’s coop. I caught Indo before he could do much damage with his spurs.

Glancing at it, that appears to be what it is saying, and my general understanding is that poultry can be shipped with individual health tests and certificates verifying the bird is disease free.

I don’t do NPIP because I don’t believe in mandatory testing or culling based on antibody presence. I’m allowed to ship or sell anywhere within Florida, and I would also consider individual testing for health certificates for individual adults.
