It's chicken camp time down on the farm

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - July 19, 2010

Chicken camp, at least in Corvallis, Oregon.

Sisters Kelly and Ginger Becker held an encore week of chicken camp on their family farm this month.

The first session of the poultry vacation was last summer and kids -- well -- flocked to it.

Kelly is 14 and kid sister, Ginger, is 11.

Their dad, John, is the camp chaperone.

A local paper reports campers pay 35 bucks apiece for a taste of farm life.

Each kid got five hours of chicken time for a week, everything from handling the birds to cleaning the coops.

For many kids, it's their first contact with livestock.

Lunch was included, too.

No word, though, if they had chicken salad.
