This shirt is covered with chickens and eggs! Chickens are amusing animals, always bobbing and running around! My daughter Helen enjoys having them around, as well as having benefitting from lovely free range eggs. In Zambia I have become involved in numerous small chicken projects – sometimes for egg production and sometimes for rearing chickens. Some of these prove more profitable than others. Often profit is confused with income!!
I have enjoyed many walks in the bush over the years. Sometimes I hear a russle in the undergrowth and hope to see a monkey or other interesting animal – invariably it is a chicken scratching at the soil! Chickens in Zambia can be very free-range, wandering considerable distances from their homes.
At the moment PIZZ doesn't keep chickens – it has a couple of fish ponds where talapia are grown to supplement the children's diet and for sale.

Thank you,
Chris
