I keep chicken and I farm maize, millet and groundnuts. My area is semi arid with rains coming only one season in a year, March to May. The farm produce is not reliable due to uncertainty in rainfall. Should I put all my energy on keeping chicken and forget about maize and millet? They take a lot of resources but the return is minimal.
