Asil is a breed of chicken known for its unique appearance and strong, muscular build. Originating from India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, Asil chickens are often recognized for their upright posture, broad heads, and distinctive feather patterns. They are primarily kept for ornamental purposes and are also known for their fighting abilities, which has led to their historical use in cockfighting. These birds are hardy and can adapt to various climates, making them popular among poultry enthusiasts. Asil chickens are also valued for their temperament, as they tend to be more aggressive than other breeds. Their eggs are typically small to medium-sized, and they are not primarily raised for egg production.
