1- Assel:
Aseel Chicken Breed is the most popular poultry bird in Pakistan. But if we look back at the history of this breed then it generally originates from the Indian subcontinent. This breed is famous in Punjab, Pakistan, and in Indian states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, etc. In short, this breed is common throughout Southeast Asia as a Thai gamer.
Asil is not for eggs because this chicken breed is very poor in egg production. The hens are not good layers but are excellent sitters. Laying depends on the Asil variety, the small Asil are known to be very poor layers, sometimes laying just 6 eggs a year, whereas larger Asil can lay around 40 eggs a year. So this chicken breed is mainly used for meat purposes as well as for cockfighting.

2- Sindhi :
As I mentioned earlier, Chicken Breeds are simply named after the area where they are bred. If we talk about Aseel then there are various varieties of Aseel on the basis of its origin. The name Sindhi is referring to that type of Assel bird that is native to Sindh province in Pakistan.
Sindhi Breeds are noted as being tall, heavy, and good at fighting, so they are bred mainly for the cockpit. These Aseels are characterized by a muscular but compact body, broad shoulders, wings carried against the body, short and hard feathers, drooping tails, a large curved beak similar to that of an eagle, pea comb, and no wattles.

5- Lyallpur Silver Black:
A native breed Lyallpur Silver Black (LSB) was evolved by crossing the local chickens with three imported breeds namely, White Leghorn, White Cornish, and New Hampshire. The objective was to develop a breed that could survive under environmental conditions of rural areas as well as be capable of producing more eggs per year as compared to only 50 eggs of Desi. LSB can produce 150 eggs per year.
