My 4 year old loves to check for eggs. On the way back to the house he always tries to convince me to cook it up immediately. He likes them over medium, he calls it "cooked with the yolk inside the white" as opposed to "mixed up"
...and our BO squatted yesterday and has been going in and out of the coop checking out the nest boxes along with one of the RIR's. We're anxiously awaiting multiple eggs each day.
