A sloppy farm in Mairang'a village, Gatundu North, Kiambu County, reveals two one-storey timber chicken coops.

The clucks and squawks are magnified as the owner, Veronica Muchina, broadcasts maize grain in one coop after another.

Muchina keeps a few dairy cattle too.

But the mowing of her cattle pales in comparison to the chicken sounds that fill the ambience.
