Chick Magnets

The chickens (all known as Bob. It is just easier that way) are a big draw for the youngsters here at the Resort.  Ethan, Amy and Carrie had a great time distributing grain.

Helping to feed them, to let them out of the pen in the morning, to gather the eggs are all popular. Seeing the young faces when they pick up an egg that is still warm from the chicken is sure to make you smile.

Holding a soft fluffy chicken is also a surefire hit.  When shown the proper way to catch and hold the hens,everyone is quite happy with the process.   Matthew and Victoria helped Nora and Vivian get up close to the hens.

Sometimes you can scoop up two hens at once! Victoria was delighted to accomplish that task.

Hunting for the eggs is an adventure too, since the hens like to hide some of them in the stable and not just leave all of them in the nest boxes!
