ASEEL

Product Description

A muscular game breed developed more than three thousand years ago on the Indian subcontinent. The name Aseel – an Arabic word meaning trueborn” or purebred” – was given to this indigenous breed while northern India was under Muslim rule.
Aseels are known for their short, tight plumage; upright stance; and square shanks, as well as the cocks’ inherent disposition to engage in vicious fights if not housed separately. The Aseel has a pea comb, lacks wattles, and comes in a few color varieties. A bantam version is known in Europe but not in North America. The eggs have a tinted shell color, and hens quite typically go broody.
