True story. When I would gather the eggs she would first put up a little fight with pecking, but then as I picked her eggs out of the nest she would seem to be counting them, keeping a tally. Later when slaughter time came my Mom decided to keep her since she was such a productive egg supplier and she thought the name was cute. So we had her for several years. We even let her hatch us some chicks a couple of times. The hens from that were highly productive too, but none of them knew how to count.
