My parents got some baby chicks when we were visiting last year, and now they have a small brood of laying hens. While we were at my parents' house, Alice took over the job of egg gathering. She would check on the hens two, three, or even four times a day.
She was very good about putting the eggs away in the refrigerator. She only dropped a couple.
She also named each one of them. This one was called "Eggy". Here she is saying good-bye to Eggy as she put him in his new home.
Alice liked the chickens too, but mostly from outside the coop.
She is so cute. Can't wait to meet her!
