Day of Chicken

The friday before Easter the NGO I work for ASUDEC set up a celebration/market day for the villagers of Bapla. It was a way to generate income for the farmers. The farmers would sell their chickens to the "richer" Burkinabe businessmen. I came to to observe and take photos of course.

The farmers sitting by their chickens, the chickens are in the round baskets.


Sheep for sale

Chicken buying frenzy. No grocery stores here, everything is free range.


More farmers waiting for a sale


I was delighted to see two women selling chickens as well.


How many chickens does this guy have on his moto, impressive
