Get marans and tell her they lay chocolate eggs. That way you wouldn't be lying to her! And who can resist chocolate?

Encourage her to spend some time on this forum????

She prefers monkeys to chickens. I will have to start working on my 2 year old daughter to soften her up.

Bring home a "science project" for the daughter.... an incubator and 12 fertile eggs. Eggs aren't chickens, because you can't count them before they hatch...obviously

, its an old proverb!!!

All you've brought home is an incubator and eggs...... the rest is out of your control. You're not God, you can't say whether they'll hatch or not.. and what they will be, they might even be monkey eggs for all you know!!!

Just tryin' to help....

Good luck.

Tell her how old grocery store eggs really are. And tell her how the chickens are kept... Once my girls start laying I vow never to buy eggs at the store again!!! GROSS!!!!

OK, that was funny.

Yes, buy some day olds, and they will come and sit in their adorable peeping fuzziness, and all will come together, and wife shall say "Oh, why did you only acquire three of these beautiful creatures? We must get at least twenty more!"
