Never have I met anyone who has had a love for chickens as much as Luke Samuel Kraft. Since he was just one year old, he developed this love for chickens and eggs. He started collecting the eggs from his four hens daily to be a little helper to his Mommy. It’s a favorite thing for him to do. During the summer of 2012 his Pop (grandpa) took him to get a bantam pair of chickens for himself. He was so excited to have his own set of chickens. Little ones, just for him. He helped his daddy make a special coop for them too. He named the boy “Rooster” and the hen “Girl”. He loves his girl the most. Luke can’t wait until she starts laying some eggs. Luke goes outside every day to check her and let them out of the coop to roam for the day. Often he will bring Girl inside for a short time. There he holds her and they read stories together, watch cartoons, he talks to her and cares for her. When they are outside he will play in the sandbox with her and follower her around the yard. In the fall when Luke went to choose his pumpkin he insisted that Girl needed a pumpkin too. For Christmas he found a nest for her and was excited to give it to her as a gift. He will often push her in his little shopping cart and go down the street to his grandparent’s house to visit and share his girl. For his third Birthday he requested to have a “chicken party” and he wanted a cake that looked just like his “girl”. So off we went looking for the perfect cake topper and he found one! Of course, it looked just like girl too. Occasionally he gets to bring her in the car if we are running quick errands. This little hen is the sweetest thing. She won’t run or fly away from him. Sometimes she will just look up at him with the sweetest look. She seems to love Luke Samuel just as much as he loves her.
