This article examines the obtaining trends in women's ideal family size preferences and family planning practices in rural Kenya. By using primary data collected from three samples drawn from the Abagusii, Abaluyia and Masai ethnic groups, the research findings suggest a declining trend in ideal family size preferences and increasing rates in the adoption of family planning methods. These research findings holds some important implications for the reversion of the recorded high population growth rates particularly among the Abagusii and Abaluyia of western Kenya
