Context
This data set could be used without permission for purposes of enhancing machine learning and data science. It can easily be adapted for classification, regression and clustering. At a practical level, such machine learning could be applied to determine which chickens are due for curling or approximating the number of eggs to be harvested

Inspiration
I am very passionate about Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. My challenge at the moment is the lack of active participation from the African continent. It is for this reason that I am of the view that my contribution of this data set will add to the African contribution to the broader Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence ecosystem
