Let’s begin this activity by getting to know some farm animals. The animals you are about to meet
are kind and very hard-working! Watch closely and you will learn all about our farm friends!
You are just in time, Penny! Introduce yourself to the boys and girls!
“Hello boys and girls! My name is Penny and I am a chicken. You can find me in the chicken
pasture…”
“…But if it is raining, I’ll be in the chicken coop. I hate
to be wet!”
“Good day, everyone! My name is Daisy and I’m a dairy cow. Most of
the time you can find me in the pasture...”
I see Daisy in the
pasture! Let’s go and
say hello!
“…What do I do? I like to stand here and rechew my food, or
cud, for about 8 hours each day.”
Splash! What was that noise? Let’s go to the mud hole and see what it is!
“Oink! Howdy there! I was just cooling off in the mud. Care to
join? Unlike you, pigs can’t sweat so I
wallow in the mud or sprinklers to stay
cool.”
More About Pigs• Even though pigs like to wallow in the mud, they
keep their bedding very dry and clean.
• An adult pig can weigh close to 200 pounds! That’s
a big lap pet!
Do you hear that? Baaaaaaaaaa! It must be Ellie Mae!
“Excuse me, but I’m a little shy. Sheep are very timid but we feel much
better when we are in a group of sheep called
a flock or a herd.”
“Did you know that sheep are born with long tails? Farmers
usually remove the tails after birth.”
Let’s Eat!
Now let’s take a look at what our new friends like to eat. Watch this video to learn more!

Look! Penny has some eggs! How
did those eggs get there, Penny? “Well, boys and
girls, I lay an egg about every 26
hours. Most of the time, the farmer
takes my eggs to be eaten.”
Birds of a Feather…
• A broody hen sits on her egg all day and all night
long.
• A broody hen’s egg will hatch in 21 days.

Daisy, don’t talk with your mouth full!
“A cow has a very important job. In order to give you and your friends
fresh milk, I have to do two things…”
“…I get to eat over 40 pounds of food
and drink a bathtub full of water everyday!”
Mooooore About Cows
A cow has to have a baby calf before
she is able to produce milk.
Cows have 4 digestive compartments in their
single stomach that help them digest all the food they eat!

What do pigs do for us?
“Do you know

meat full of protein and other fats.
