I, Gertrude McCluck, am currently visiting a chicken hotel. Well, it seems like one to me. The place is as big as half a basketball court, maybe bigger. I have observed and enjoyed eating good meals and playing good games in my time here. Why, you ask? Every good detective has to have a vacation every now and then! You also get to make new friends, like Chestnut, a brown and black rooster in the making. He had a hard time understanding things, so as a detective, I helped him. For example, we were sipping some juices and crunching our corn when he stated:

"Hey, McCluck, have you noticed that if you watch the humans pick corn one day, we get the corn cobs left over a few days later? Weird, huh?"

"Yeah," I chirped "but too easily solved, you see..."

Then all of a sudden, a victorious cackle came from the chicken hotel, interrupting my genius. Chestnut and I went to investigate and found an old resident, a grouchy Game Hen named Touchy, and a newer resident, a Rhode Island Red named Clucky Miss Cluck Cluck, having an egg contest. Needless to say, it took three days to complete the contest.

"You have four eggs? Impossible! You stole one of mine!" huffed Touchy.

"Yeah, too bad you only made two, because I didn't steal your egg! Getting old?" said Clucky Miss Cluck Cluck.

"Hold on here, tell me the whole situation," I said.

"Well, she has two white, small eggs and I have three big eggs and overdid myself with a small white egg myself!" Clucky Miss Cluck Cluck proudly proclaimed.

"She stole my egg!" said Touchy, rather touchily.

"No, I won fair and square!" exclaimed Miss Cluck Cluck.

With a confused look on his face, Chestnut asked, "Who won?"

Much like the question regarding the corn, there is a simple solution to this dilemma. Can you guess what it is?

Answer: Game Hens have small, white eggs and Rhode Island Reds have tan eggs. Miss Cluck sadly said she stole Touchy's egg. Additionally, to answer Chestnut's question, humans eat the corn, then give the cob to us chickens to pick of the rest.
