Bearded Chicken

Unfortunately I got back from the capital without having time to have used the internet at all, and now have internet but have to leave soon to catch a ride up my mountain (free ride in a truck definitely beats paying to take a moto when you have a lot of bags)

But until I am able to to a justifiable blog update, here are a few pictures so you can at least see some of what's been going on --

I've been going around and doing interviews at all of the houses in my community, and while going around I noticed how interesting some of the animals are, especially the chickens. So here is a nice collection for your viewing pleasure. The first ones remind me of my brothers and cousins who have gone through facial hair phases =D
If you didn't notice, it has a beard!! So awesome.




Needless to say, I'm hoping to get some for my own, and sat around watching these birds for a long time with my neighbors, enjoying every second of it!




And here are a few other pictures I've been able to take:
