The Aseel is a very old fighting game breed from India. It has been bred in India for many centuries for its agressive behavior. They were popular with the rulers of India who bred them for fighting purposes. It is difficult to keep Aseels in close quarters due to their agressive tendencies
The cock of this breed does not generally exceed five or six pounds and has
a unique abbreviated crow. The Aseel is
a very muscular bird with short, widely spaced legs. It lays light brown
eggs. Although the Aseel has a meaty carcass, it grows too slow to be useful
for commercial meat production. Other than its fighting ability, Aseels have
little economic value. .
