By LOUIS MUIRURIMore by this AuthorI was in the village last week launching my chicken rearing project. After laying ten tiny eggs each, the hens now insist on incubating them in order to order to manufacture other small hens. I can already foresee myself being featured in a television program that talks about successful farmers who have shaped up their shambas. ENCOUNTER WITH A ROOSTERUnlike the upmarket layers that are manufactured using electricity powered incubators, village hens reproduce through an intricate life cycle process that takes several months. Just as you are busy counting the chicken before they are hatched, the hen walks out of the nest after 21days like a celebrated queen.
