Kienyeji Chicken refers to a traditional breed of chicken native to Kenya. These birds are known for their hardiness, adaptability to local conditions, and ability to thrive on minimal resources. They are often raised in free-range systems, allowing them to forage for food, which contributes to their unique flavor and nutritional value. Kienyeji chickens are typically smaller than commercial breeds and have a slower growth rate. They are valued not only for their meat but also for their eggs, which are often richer in nutrients. This breed plays a significant role in local agriculture and food security in rural communities.
