American Reza (Pakistani) Asil

[RFoxfire]

The other thing is, the only breed of asil which was created later that was in the 4# mark was from pakistan. Later it moved to sri lanka. The lithograph you posted is nothing like the true Asil. It seems more americanized. But i understand what you are getting at. Even in all the ancient paintings the bird are like our bam bam, amroha, Indian lines. That lithorgaph shows Amroha frame. You can see some of the old pictures here are getting too old.

There are original Asil like your fowl in Virginia. I know what you mean about the distinctive look.

Herbert Atkinson, and those drawing and painting, are of Asil fowl he obtained while living in India. So they would have been observed from native fowl on native soil, not removed and bred for several generations in England yet. He was an Englishman, and helped import to McCoy, Clarke, Wheeler, and several others, 1880s until near his death in 1934. All the smaller Asil. So it makes sense that they were established in the U.S., from those Punjab and Sindh bloodlines. They made their way to Lucknow, no matter where they originated, most imported from there to England and then the U.S.

Not sure if you have contacted anyone in Virginia yet but there is a Pakistani born breeder, who seems to have fowl directly from. I haven’t spoke to him but his fowl are on YouTube, and he travels to and from, based on his content.

I’m not familiar with Aseel Asil if that is a handle or something.

Saw some YouTube videos of Top Quality. Never spoke to him. Just saw him in Pakistan with fowl explaining he was trying to import, not sure if he did or not.

Yes he brought in the parrot beak asil. First ones in the US. Aseel asil and top quality asil are the same person.

Anyone else breeding and raising Pakistani Asil?

My hens last year, started to lay while my American game hens took a break. I wasn’t checking nest boxes because I wasn’t thinking of them laying. Anyhow they went broody and I left them be, and hatched chicks between Christmas into the first week of January.

This clutch survived Maine’s polar vortex with -20 temperatures for about 2-3 days with a -40 wind chill. They were with the two hens, separate clutches, and inside my pens within my cock house. Feed bags over the rabbit wire pen doors.

Matured into beautiful pullets and a nice 11 month old stag. Anyhow my hens are in a winter pen for safe keeping (they free range after hatching and into winter) and they are laying again. I also have a ‘Hanson Red’ x Rampuri type hen with the ‘Christmas stag’ and she is laying now as well.

Does anyone else notice asils wanting to lay and (obviously if eggs aren’t collected) go broody in December and January?

I can collect eggs but, with so few eggs laid during a year, I may allow them to go broody again. Just curious if anyone else notices this cycle among their Asil. I’m not use to my game hens laying eggs this time of year.

How are you making out these days sir? Hope your thanksgiving was memorable and nice and wishing you a merry xmas!
