JEFFERY HEN - Roo Remembers the Feather

The following morning while all was out eating at the picking ground, Roo remembers the feather he used to measure the eggs the triplets and Crystal Fawn were inside of before they were born. Roo flew up in the tree and reached into the crack were he put the feather. He flew back down to the picking ground to show everybody how big the eggs were.

Roo said, "I remember this feather barely did reach all around that big egg. Look how big it was!" He circled the feather all around.

Everybody looked with amazement, "Oooh!!" as they all looked at its size.

He said, "This is how big the egg that Crystal Fawn was in." He put the end of the feather into the notch he made from the time. "It's exactly half the size of the big egg."  As he showed halving the feather to prove his point. Then he showed how small the real little bitty egg was. "It is a third the size of the big egg," bending the feather to show it is one third its length.

Everybody was amazed with the story.

The triplets and Crystal Fawn can only watch, they didn't quite understand what was going on yet.

One of the hens was new to the neighborhood, she wasn't around when the triplets were born. She asked, "How did the hen lay that big of an egg?"

Roo said, "That's a long story."
