My younger brother raises hens, ducks, and rabbits. He is very fond of keeping hens. Recently, the hens laid eggs and hatched chicks, which are now quite big. Some of them were killed by wild animals and the rest of the chicks are with the chickens.

He also kept rabbits. Some time ago, I visited a small farm and saw the little rabbits that were made. I found them beautiful in black and white. One of them has very bright and gray eyes. A small well has been dug for them to live in, in which they can breed. I have also taken a selfie with this cute rabbit, which will be seen as a symbol of my love for rabbits.

An enclosure of about two marla has been built in which chickens are raised, along with their chicks. During the day, they are left outside the enclosure to chew on grain so that they can fill their stomachs. These chicks live in a group with the chickens, and as evening falls, they are brought into the enclosure so that they are safe from wild animals at night.

Separate rooms have been made for chickens and chicks, in which a net is attached, which acts as ventilation. When the chickens and chicks take a bite of grain from outside during the day, they spend their nights in the crates.

Apart from this, they also have ducks for whom a pond has been made so that they can swim in it. I tried to take pictures of these ducks, but they were running away from me, and I had a lot of difficulty taking pictures of them. They suddenly started running towards the pond with water and finally they jumped into the water. When they could not swim in the water, a strange scene was in front of me, just like when a boat is moving in the water, waves are formed. Similarly, I could see waves being formed by their movement. I took pictures of them and moved away from them so that they could swim in the water peacefully.

My younger brother's friend brought a hen and he told me that this hen belonged to a friend, which he had received in his friend's absence. He told me that this hen was imported from Nepal and that it was bought at a very high price. He said its price was 60,000 Pakistani rupees and that its breed was rare. I was quite surprised. What was the need to import such an expensive hen? He told me that his friend was interested in importing hens from a foreign country, so he imported these hens from Nepal.

He is also very fond of cockfighting and has kept two roosters in a separate cage, which he feeds well, almonds, custard, and other things that increase their power. I don't like such a hobby, but some people are such enthusiasts who like cockfighting and even see it as a hobby.
