Pakistani Murgha and Murghee

A desi murgha!

Murghee -just before her flight!

This couple - a hen and a rooster/cockerel/cock (RCC) were brough as a gift for our neighbors from somewhere in Gujrat by their relatives. These guys spent the night and were very active since early morning. I was very excited to see them - a real 'Pakistani' murgha and murhee - after a long time ... ;-)

I noticed but of course could not understand the logic of the owners - who tied one of the legs of this RCC with a long string while left the hen with a liscence to 'move all around'....within an hour, I saw this hen flying down from the second floor... though she was a bit scared in the beginning but she landed safely in a nearby green area/ a small belt . The whole family was found roaming all over this green belt - looking for the hen....but that was the last, that I saw of her ( hen) and these neighbors returning empty handed.

This beautiful RCC became a chicken karahee for the dinner - nothing can be worst than that! This chapter of their life, migration and flight to freedom - led to all new circumstances - not a happy ending indeed!
