When I was a child I used to believe that roosters laid jelly beans. I would spend several weeks every summer with my uncle on the farm. Every morning he would go to the chicken coop before I got up and put jelly beans in the roosters nest. It was my job to collect the rooster eggs for the the Jelly Bean Factory. He would collect them in a jar until it was time for me to go home and then he would pay me my commission for the beans, usually 25 cents. A lot of money in the 50’s. I believed that roosters laid jellybeans until I was 11 or 12.
