Noted for its intelligence, pugnacious temperament, and regal bearing, the Black Breasted Red Aseel chicken is sure to be noticed in the yard. Because of their territorial nature, they need a lot of room to roam. The hens make good mothers, defending their chicks very well. Because of their tight feathers, they are heavier than they look. 

This breed has a long history, being developed in Pakistan and India thousands of years ago for fighting. It was known in England by 1846 and was first exhibited in the United States in 1887.  Purely Poultry offers the Reza-type Asil chicken with a blend of many strains including Sonatol, Rampur, and Atkinson.

These birds will tend to be a dark red, with a black breast.
