Look what the chickens did!

Back in July, Joel and Andy went on a 4-H field trip to the Poultry Science department at NC State. They learned about chickens and ended up bringing some of the day-old chicks home with them. They turned out to be 4 hens and 2 roosters. In the past 4 months, we've learned alot about chickens!

Did you know that roosters don't start out saying "Cock-a-doodle-doo"? When ours first started to crow, they sounded like those little baby dolls that say "Momma" when you turn them over on their tummies!

Last night, Andy came in the back door, very excited and calling for me to come see what he found! When he fed and watered them, there were 2 eggs in their pen. By this morning, there was another one! Ah, there are farm-fresh eggs in Shari's world tonight!
