Some chicken prefer laying in bushes because they feel safer and more hidden than in the coop. Even with clean nest boxes, noise, light or competition can push hens to choose quiet outdoor spots. This one refuses to lay in the coop. #LocalChicken #Kienyeji #PoultryCare #FarmTips #EggProduction

Cold seasons drain chicken energy, reducing egg output. Boosting birds with energy rich rations like maize and healthy fats helps them stay warm and productive. Smarter feeding keeps your flock laying strong through harsh weather. #PoultryFarming #Kienyeji #EggProduction #ColdSeasonCare #AgriTips

For optimal breeding results, allow your chickens access to a free-range environment, particularly during the evenings. This practice is essential for birds housed in restrictive systems, as the incubation of non-fertilized eggs is a primary contributor to low hatchability.

This meat is superior because it offers the perfect balance of rich, distinct Kienyeji flavor developed through natural growth, yet lacks the extreme toughness of older jogoos. This makes it tender enough for many recipes while delivering that coveted robust taste. #KienyejiMeat #FarmToTable

Broody hens spend long hours on their eggs, making grooming essential. Each time they leave the nest, they preen and scratch to clean feathers, remove parasites, stretch, and relieve stress. Healthy grooming is good for them. #BroodyHens #PoultryCare #ChickenHealth #FarmTips #EggFarming
