Which came first? When I was a little girl Paw Paw gave me a little chick for Easter. I simply adored Peep Peep. Paw Paw’s brother, Uncle Bobby, who lived two doors down from Granny and Paw Paw, taught me this rhyme. He got a kick out of listening to me recite it.
Well, I had a little chicken
And she wouldn’t lay an egg
So I poured hot water up and down her leg
Little chicken hollered and little chicken begged
Little chicken laid a hard boiled egg!
These little chicks will delight your children and they are a snap to make. Serve them during Easter festivities. For an adorable lunchbox, put two in a nest of lettuce or use a cupcake liner.
Method
Boil eggs. Peel. Slice in half to create two tall halves. Slice off rounded bottom so egg half will not wobble. Remove yolks and place in small bowl. Mix with a little mayonaise, mustard, salt and pepper.
Spoon yolk mixture back into halves. With a wet finger, smooth out the rounded shape of the yolk. Slice a small carrot into triangles to make beaks. Use two black sesame seeds for eyes or use whatever you have around the kitchen.
