You could ask Joyce Thompson of rural Clarissa anything about the animals she has on her farm and she could tell you. She could tell you what breed each of her chickens is and where they originate from, when they lay eggs and most importantly what their names are.

She visited the kindergarten class this year with some of them and gave the class eggs to experiment with incubation. Her plan is to start a petting zoo.
