Which Came First?

Do you say the chicken or the egg came first? In the case of this project, the chickens. Rather than give out food packages, the leaders of this Romany church decided to start a pilot chicken and egg project. They choose two widows to begin with. Each received 20 chickens. The chickens provide more eggs than needed for one household. The chickens will also provide some meat. In the future, the project might be expanded to more households.

And no, I don't know why these photos are sideways. Fortunately, in real life the chickens and their new caretakers are right-side up.
