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.
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!
I wouldn't have thought chickens would tolerate that...
