  • Etnográfica:
    Domestic chicken. They previously raised chickens more to sell the eggs, but as of 2008, the business was heavily tilted toward raising chickens to sell. Ramas don't usually eat them, and some still don't like domestic chicken, or domestic meat in general. They feed chickens corn and rice, and they forage in the yard. As of 2009, there were many more chickens around in every community than at any previous time. The chickens are still more of a woman's activity than a man's. One concern is the many very hungry dogs that abound; they usually go after the eggs when they have the chance, though they don't usually go after the chickens. The eggs are future profit, so it is an unlucky dog who is caught with egg on his face.
