not chickens - but goats, sheep, cows and lots and lots of stray dogs!! - 'farm' animals are in the side streets in the old side of Cairo - quite sad to see really. The Delta side of Cairo is where all the 'green' fields are going up towards Alexandria and here is where cows, sheep, goats get to see and feel green grass! The only chickens I have seen are in cages ! ( hate it) they keep a lot of pigeons on the roof tops
