There he is doing his daily chores, feeding the chickens their 'treat bowl' and then when they are distracted with that he goes and gets the eggs. I used to get the eggs (I know you guys will miss seeing me in my snazzy eggpron), but these broody hens are killing me, literally, they peck the shit out of me when I try to get the eggs.
Eddie traded putting away the dishes every day, for doing the eggs instead. Score for both of us! He was sick and tired of drying dishes and the chickens are actually super tame with him, we all know Eddie is the Chicken Whisperer...
And the Best Part
I pay him his allowance in SBD. I'm sure it's going to change to STEEM soon, haha, he hasn't been checking coinmarketcap enough though shhh don't tell him lol he'll want a raise!
Getting the 'secret stash' of eggs out of the meat birds coop, those little rebels will find any way to avoid laying in their nesting boxes.

I'm so blessed to have children that are willing to help me out, I love how good with the animals they are, and in the gardens as well. All 3 of our sons already have a great work ethic which is amazing considering how young they are. We don't raise them to have the world handed to them on a silver platter (even if we could afford it we wouldn't). We raise them to be able to eventually look after themselves, and that includes knowing how to grow food and butchering animals. These are skills I wish I would have learned as a child, but now, we get to learn it together, so it's great this way too.
