I raise a boy that is not mine,Billy, he is almost 3 years old and he lives out here on the ranch with me. He has chores and it is his job to feed the chickens, get the eggs and water the horses. He does them too... Anyhoo his brother Dodge who is 5 came to visit us today and needless to say he is a city boy. Dodge was not sure about the horses, they kind of scared him. He finally reached up and touched one when Billy was talking to his horse. With the horses watered and fed, Billy and I set off with Dodge bringing up the rear, to the chicken area to feed them, not really sure what to make of the chickens. Billy ran in to the coop and was excited that there were eggs. (Our chickens got scared the other day and have really not been laying) I had been praying to the chicken fairy that there would be eggs for the boys to get... SURE enough there were two eggs, one for each boy. Dodge was not sure if he should go get the egg, I made him do it. He carried that egg very careful all the way back to the house. He was so excited.... I told him he could eat the egg for supper tonight if he wanted, and his smile told me I would be making eggs for supper tonight.

Thank you Chicken Fairy for my girls laying 2 eggs, one for each boy to carry...

PS Just thought I would share.
