This is one big egg that we found. It had a very thin shell though and broke when we brought it in!

!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you π to all that have been on Lucy’s website and said ‘NO’ to a new chicken farm. It is helping earth’s chickens. Despite everyone on Lucy’s website this what Lucy has said,
“In the case of our petition to Staffordshire council, regarding the recent approval of a chicken factory farm, they have made the decision to remain in acceptance of the proposition despite the over 70,000 strong petition, and now the building and preparation for the farm is under way.”
For those who don’t know about battery hens, they are chickens that are born in a factory were the get put in a cage with no space. They can only get water and food. They are forced to lay eggs. When the can’t lay any more they send loads of chickens off to be killed.
They lose most of there feathers, go really skinny and their comb is floppy and not red. Basically they aren’t looked after.
You can still sign to help raise awareness of battery hens. THANK YOU
Pumpkins
When we picked our chickens up from Howard he told us how much chickens liked pumpkins. He gave us one for the chickens to try. They like it a lot. They couldn't stop eating it! Howard said it makes the yolks extra yellow.
Chicken Bag for my birthday
I got a new bag for my birthday, it said on it;
βThis is what an awesome chicken keeper looks like!β
We all had a little laugh when we saw it π. I now use it to keep my book-bag in for school.
Thanks to Oscar, Becky (Rebecca), Toby and Chris (Cristopher).
Two Eggs
For the last three days we have been getting two eggs. One from Stripy and one from another chicken. We think it is Snowy.
The new egg is lighter in colour and much smaller. It is very exciting. Just one more chicken to start laying.
Chicken’s in the paper
Recently dad sent me a email about chickens I thought it was very interesting. It was released quite a while ago although we found it recently. Click here for the link.
Here is the first paragraph:
Chickens are native to the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia, but over the last approximately 8,000 years, chickens have been domesticated and spread around the globe to become one of the most valued domesticated animals. These fairly shy forest birds lack the ability for long-distance flying and are not migratory. As such, their spread around the world is not just a tale of domestication, but one that is intimately linked to the movements of people around the world.
That is amazing!!!!!!
