Gee, I was almost right when I guessed an ant hill. Aren't ants part of the termite family?
I'll bet the chicken lays brown eggs.
Hey, keep up the good work over there. We are all praying for your success.

Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh!

It's a trick question. This species of chicken doesn't lay eggs, it gives birth to baby flamingos.
