CHICKEN OR THE EGGS ?????

My sister has always been an animal lover. Over the years she has had a wide variety of animals as pets. Everything from dogs and cats to horses, calf's, bulls, rabbits, ducks. She is always on the lookout for stray dogs and cats. Her husband has been very sick over the last few years and recently he decided to buy some hens and a rooster. He found 8 hens for $6.00 a piece and gave $10.00 for a rooster. The man he bought them from assured him that the hens were of the age to begin laying. My sister built a pen for the new additions to the farm and installed some boxes with straw in them for their laying nest.
After a month Rick told Pam if those hens don't start laying this week I'm going to have some fried chicken. Pam had talked to my wife about the hens being in danger of becoming dinner. My wife told her to get some country eggs and act like the hens have started laying. Sis found some country eggs and gave $2.00 a dozen for them and began to announce to Rick, " we got two eggs today which thrilled him to death. " Well I guess that little talk I had with them being fried chicken paid off." Pam was way too smart not to take the clean eggs into the house for Rick to see, she would smear a little dirt on each egg. As of today poor old Rick brags to everybody about the great deal he got on the hens and rooster and how they are producing eggs every day. He would blow his top if he knew those eggs cost $2.00 a dozen. Hey, he got 3 eggs yesterday. It's the same eggs????
