Fresh Eggs

My daughter lives on a farm, and her friend’s parents raise chickens. They have about 20 hens and several roosters now, and they are raising 15 more young chickens. They keep the chickens outside during the day, but the chickens go into a small wooden house called a chicken coop at night. If they stay outside, they can be killed by wild animals such as racoons and bears. The hens lay eggs every day, and the farmer puts out a sign in his driveway that says, “Fresh Eggs.” People come to the house and buy them, but the farmer doesn’t sell all of them. My daughter and her friend get some. My daughter says that they are the best eggs she has ever eaten. I agree. They are very good! (130 words)
