Chickens

Ryguasu, Gallinas, or Chickens are everywhere in Paraguay. Luckily, with the recent time change (spring forward here) the roosters don´t crow as terribly early as they did before the time change, but I´m starting to tune them out anyway.

Things I have seen chickens fed in Paraguay:
any leftover food (inc eggs and chicken bones)
styrafoam
partially burned diapers

Favorite preparation of the egg: breaded, deep-fried hard-boiled egg

The number of eggs produced by my host family´s chickens is a real source of pride and I help count them every day to practice my Guarani.

That´s what´s on my mind right now! That and the fact that I just made the month mark since I left home!!
