Devotion  Conservancy

 
Raising Aseel chickens is not simply a hobby for me—it is an act of devotion, preservation, and deep respect for a living lineage older than most written history. These birds carry within them a rare combination of strength, intelligence, and dignity that sets them apart from any other breed I’ve ever known. Their minds are astonishingly sharp; they problem-solve, observe, remember, and connect with a level of awareness that reveals just how unique their genetics truly are. Living with Aseels means living alongside a creature that thinks—really thinks—and chooses you back.
But their brilliance is only part of the story.
Aseels are critically endangered, standing at the edge of being forgotten in a world that rewards convenience over heritage. Their dwindling numbers reflect a global loss of biodiversity and culture, and I refuse to let that story end on my watch. Every chick, every careful pairing, every season of dedicated husbandry becomes an act of conservation. By raising them, I am helping preserve a genetic treasure that could so easily vanish.
And then there is their history—rich, ancient, and cherished. Aseels walked through the courts and villages of the Indian subcontinent long before modern poultry existed. They were companions, guardians, symbols of honor and pride. To raise an Aseel today is to touch a piece of humanity’s shared past, to steward a living artifact whose story deserves a future.
I raise Aseels because they are worth fighting for.
Because their intelligence inspires me.
Because their rarity demands responsibility.
Because their history humbles me.
And because some things—some lives—are too precious to lose.
