Which Came First? April 15, 2011

Was it the chicken or was it the egg? Will we ever know? Come along and check out the chickens in the poultry house to see if they have laid any eggs. Visit with some chicks while you are there. Dye your own egg using natural dyes. Make a nest for your egg of natural materials to keep it safe as you go home. Discover who else lays eggs around the farm. Enjoy an Eggciting snack!
