Chickens Grew Up

Chickens

Said the first little chicken,  With a strange little squirm,

"I wish I could find A fat little worm.

Said the next little chicken,  With an odd little shrug,

"I wish I could find   A fat little bug."

Said a third little chicken,  With a small sigh of grief,

"I wish I could find   A green little leaf!"

Said the fourth little chicken,  With a faint little moan,

"I wish I could find A wee gravel stone."

"Now, see here!" said the mother, From the green garden patch,

"If you want any breakfast, Just come here and scratch!"

Black Hen and a couple Guinieas. 

It does not take long for Chickens to grow up.  

However it takes ours about 10 months before they will lay their first egg.
