Kenyan population mainly lives in rural underdeveloped areas spread across the country. Rural areas in Kenya is characterised by low formal employment, low income as well as high level of food insecurity which eventually leads to increased poverty levels. Rural folk considers indigenous chicken as key in economic empowerment and as part of the social life. Chicken provides cheap animal proteins especially white meat and eggs and contributes to convenient cash income. Chicken farming is easy to implement and carrying out feeding is indeed much easier than any other agricultural enterprise hence considered convenient to resource poor rural households. Chicken, especially indigenous are prevalent in the rural areas owing to increased adaptation to harsh scavenging conditions, survival in poor nutrition and tolerance to disease and parasite. Women being found in the homesteads more hours than male counterparts provides a biased operation of women carrying out the feeding operations more than male.
