The scene is set on a light brown dirt ground in Ayama, Nigeria, which is sparsely covered with small debris including plastic wrappers (visible in orange, blue, and yellow), wood fragments, and general refuse. An adult reddish-brown hen with dark tail feathers is positioned centrally, facing right, with its head lowered towards the ground. Four smaller, mottled grey-brown chicks are clustered behind and to the left of the hen, gathered around a distinct blue and white plastic object. All chickens appear to be engaged in foraging activities. A dark, textured wall or foundation is partially visible in the upper right quadrant of the image.
