Brownie Troop
Takes A Trip
Brownie Troop 823 enjoyed
a trip tp Doggett Poultry Farm
on Wed. Feb. 19, 1969. In all
we had sixteen brownies and three
smaller children to go. We had
four adults to go, two leaders
and two of our mothers. One
of our brownies was not able
to go.
When we arrived at the farm
we were shown around by Mrs.
James Klnes. We went to see
the baby chickens first. In all
they had about twenty-five thou
sand baby chicks but we only
saw about half of them.
We then went to see some
chickens that were in an open
chicken house. Mrs. Klnes then
took us to the main hen house
where the eggs were laid. She
turned on a machine that brought
the eggs down on a blet and
into a place where you could
crate the eggs. Each child had
a chance to put the eggs in the
crate. We then left and went
into the house where they wash
the eggs and crate them for the
stores.
After we left the chicken houses
Mrs. Klnes then took us to see
the pigs. There were a lot of
pigs to see, some big and some
small.
We then went back to our cars
to depart for home. Before we
left we thanked Mrs. Klnes for
a lovely visit. We all had a
very good time.
