At Gladys Kivoto’s farm in Mwala village in Mutomo, Kitui County, five birdcages stand side by side, each holding kienyeji chicken at different stages of life.

The youngest of these are 50 three-day-old chicks that have just been separated from their mother while the oldest birds are in cage five, at five months old, which is the final stage before they are sold.
