HAVING THIS MUCH FUN SHOULD BE ILLEGAL

Except that fun should never be illegal.

Yeah, so we really don't celebrate "Easter" or believe in any egg-laying rabbits, whether seasonal or not. Therefore, if we want to have an egg hunt, we just turn a chicken loose for a while and then track down where it went off to. Today was the day, and the Hive account@little-peppers won the game!

THE HUNT IS ON... AND COMPLETELY LEGAL

This is the chicken that the Hive account@little-peppers played against. She's a beautiful Barred Rock hen that has been on the loose for about three weeks. Pinkie-Pepper got this hen for her birthday, and we thought that she'd make a good opponent.

After a while of searching, the Hive account@little-peppers caught a glimpse of something under our neighbors porch. Sure enough, they had located the nest full of eggs, but they still had to figure out how to get them.

Interestingly enough, a hole in the lattice was located, and soon the Hive account@little-peppers were developing a plan. This hole was obviously big enough for a chicken to fit through, but could the Hive account@little-peppers?

Not wanting to lose the egg hunt game on a technicality, Monster Truck tried the hole on for size. Sure enough, it worked. Either he is the size of a chicken, or the hole is even bigger than a chicken.

Pinkie-Pepper went next. She wasn't going to miss out on the glory. She was in it for the win. No egg hiding chicken was going to get the best of her!

After some crawling and squirming, the Hive account@little-peppers were in position. They had not only located the nest, but now they also had eggs in hand. Unlike the pretend eggs that other children search for in the spring, these are full of yolks and whites, and not candy, so the Hive account@little-peppers had to be careful.

Soon they were passing the eggs out of their "under-porch cage" and out into the open. Who would be able to assist them in their efforts?

Yeah, Hive account@papa-pepper tried to be a good and helpful papa, so he was ready with the assist. We raided that nest like crazy and returned the loose hen back to the general population. Now she can marry a nice rooster and lay some real eggs to sit on.

In the end, we got a good pile of eggs and the Hive account@little-peppers won the great egg hunt game, with the help of Hive account@papa-pepper of course. The Barred Rock was returned to her flock, and soon perhaps she will hatch out some little chicks for us. It was a lot of work just to get some eggs for breakfast, but it was also a lot of fun. Hope that you enjoyed the story!
