Good Evening Everyone!

Suzanne King from My Chicken Diaries brought in some Egg-selent chicken ambassadors tonight!

These lovely ladies provided and visual aid during Suzanne's fascinating talk on chickens and how they can impact your life and health.

She let us know about the different chicken breeds and how they all have fun colors and egg sizes. She also showed us turkey and goose eggs!

Here is the difference between a goose egg and the starter egg from a young chicken. Wow! Such a size difference!

Thank you again Suzanne for such a wonderful Egg-perience!
