Just for Fun: Chickens Riddles

Chickens are one of my favorite animals. I’ve had a flock for most of the past 45 years.What I like best about them is that, unlike most animals, you can use their products without hurting the chicken. My hens tend to lead long, safe lives. We like brown-egg hens best, and especially the black-and-white Barred Rocks, or Domineckers, as they’re called around here. There's just something about the contented clucking, the excited squawking after an egg is laid, the rooster's crow first thing in the morning that makes a place feel more like a home.
