Note for the folks at home: although they're not indigenous to East Africa, chickens ("kuku") are abundant throughout rural Kenya. The crowing (which should more accurately be described as "screaming") of roosters is the way days begin, and visitors shouldn't be surprised to see herds of fowl darting across the road, peeking hesitantly into shop doorways, or rooting through trash piles. Although the meat of chickens is popular country-wide, it isn't generally considered "meat" (a term which is reserved for the Red variety: cows, goats, sheep, etc.)
