of Tamil Nadu. 28-year-old Mahalakshmi is walking barefoot in the dewy grass to wake her husband in the shed where he has been all night, watching over the 3,000 chickens she and her business colleagues are raising commercially. She offers him food and water, and as he sets off to work in the fields, she is joined by two more women in the vast, airy, bamboo and thatchedroof shed. The women have work to do. In 12 days the chickens have to be ready for delivery.
