Chickens of the Bench

From the 1922 Photo Book by Hans Silvester

The chickens of the Bench People in Ethiopia are fed very little ... they scavenge relentlessly for scorpions, spiders, ants + other insects. They also alert the owners to a threat of snakes, sounding the alarm flapping their wings + squawking! A valuable asset to the community
