Look, I have a partime job of baby-sitting. Can you make up stories how hens produce eggs? I need to tell...?

Question

the kids because they keep asking me how hens come with eggs. I don't even know how chickens are mating and I don't know whether if the eggs we buy in supermarket can hatch, and I mostly don't know how's the hens in the farm doing, are they having a family or what. You know sometimes kids asking stuff that you dont know! Can anybody help me out here???

Answer 1

So r u askin where they come from or u want me to make a story of where they came from?

Answer 2

say that people give eggs to them when they don't want them anymore or aren't in the mood for eggs that day, then the chickens sit on them and they magically turn into baby chickens (hey i'd believe it if i was a little kid!) lol

Answer 3

lol i would say the storch comes and drops then off lol

Answer 4

the eggs in the store cannot hatch

they have not been made fertile or something.... I'm not much on chicken knowledge though... i would make something up about the technicalities unless they are genuinely curious...in which case...make a field trip to the library   :)

Answer 5

First Chickens don't need Roosters to lay eggs. They can lay  them without the help of him. The eggs won't be fertile and would never hatch into chicks. If you don't want to go into that with the kids, (and you really shouldn't,because that is their parents job) why don't you tell them the story about ," May the Ladybug". My sister made that up while her daughter and our  nieces  and  nephews  were small. You can have May do anything you like. She can get into trouble, get stuck in honey from a bee's nest, travel  unexpectedly while sitting on a little girl or boys head. Anything at all,May can do. And the thing is,the kids love it so much,they never want you to stop. Good Luck, Byee

Answer 6

well if u buy eggs in a store they can't hatch they need the dude chicken and they are kepted to cold. tell the kids that the mommy and daddy chicked love each other and when they think they want a baby they hug and make a wish and the mommy hen lays a egg but the mommy hen is scared that the baby chick will be scared of the outside world so the chick can watch the world threw his egg shell and when hes not scared anymroe he can com eout and be with his mommy and daddy :) lol

Answer 7

The best advice I can give you is to let the children's parents explain it to them. Especially since you really don't have a good understanding of the subject.

I understand exactly how kids ask stuff that you don't know about. You are a very good example of that. You are hired to be a baby sitter and maybe to help pick up around the house or do some housework while there.

I have found that as a baby sitter you will be appreciated much more for doing the dishes without being asked or running the vac and picking up after the rug rats are in bed.

I can assure you that you are not going to endear yourself to the parents if you are trying to explain life events to their children. A lot of parents would prefer do that for themselves.

It sounds like you need to sit down with your parents and ask some question?

You need to Google this.  It is a long and involved process which you will need to simplify for kids.
