Mammals

"Mama?"
Ellie asked yesterday as we were eating breakfast on the front porch with the teen age chickens. All of whom are alive, last I checked.

"Yes," I replied.

"When chicks are born, before they can walk, do they drink milk?"

I said, "Do you know what a mammal is?"

"Yes. We are mammals, Thomas is a mammal, and whales are mammals."

I then told her that all mammals have hair and feed their babies milk. She said, Chicken's have hair. But it is feathers. I told her feathers were different from hair.
