Greedy the Hen

Hello, I am a hen called Greedy, which is a bit of a misnomer because, unlike my sister Ruby, I'm actually not that greedy!  Don't get me wrong, I like snacks and scratch, but I don't beg for food like my sister Ruby.  

We named her Greedy because she's such a large bird!  We thought may she's a rooster!  But in fact, Greedy is not a rooster - she does lay eggs!  Greedy's breed is "Easter Egger", which means the eggs that she lays are light green in color.  Really!  The inside of the egg is the same, but the shell really is light green!  Don't ask me why this is.  

Greedy's egg laying is not as prolific as Ruby's.  Little Ruby lays about an egg a day, and in thsi week, Greedy has laid two eggs.
