That is very good, I've heard of similar stories with these intelligent birds, although I haven't had the chance to see my boy's reaction to strangers. "Regular" chickens are not as good with compartmentalizing, so they are wary of everyone, some more than others of course
Just goes to show how intelligent these birds are. I don't think mine would have been so patient. He was young and hormonal, too much of a learning curve for a youngster. In any case, he is now very happy with his two ladies, and his daughter is very pretty, and friendly, which is definitely...
That definitely takes some finesse! Requires a certain level of intelligence as well. I wonder if the difference in size was so great that it was compatible with mating, albeit very strange mating, whereas a medium sized hen is more of an invitation to mount
I faced the same issue with my boy. I introduced a big Tsouloufati girl to him, and although he could get on her, he couldn't balance. That hen ended up getting a serious wound on her side, from the time he tried to mount her, grabbed on, and tumbled over. Then I got him two brahma hens and...
That's a perfect example of an aseel. They rival a lot of dogs out there when it comes to intelligence. Every time I let my boy out, he demands to be up on my and, and enjoys a good scritch. After he turned 4 months old, he became totally aware of his strength and weight. Every time he hears me...
This boy would be around 11 months old when this photo was taken. As you can see, not much spur. The not even 5 month old Tsouloufati and the near 8 month old serama have the same amount of spur growth he had. These guys take a while to grow out their spurs, the same guy is over one and a half...
Pipd did take a photo of one. Honestly Aseel are hard to show, because simply put, most are mixed variety, and a lot of breers don't have birds that adhere to the APA standards as much as other breeds
