Underwood, Ia
Last week officials learned of a building expansion at the Mini-K Ranch in Underwood Iowa. The ranch currently has an egg production facility in the building but egg production has fallen sharply in the last few months. Officials from the NIAS Egg Consumption Company out of Omaha, Nebraska have confirmed that production has fallen slightly from 100% to somewhere in the area of 0%.
Mini-K Ranch officials, including the Farmer Looking Guy in Overalls, were not available for comment on the exact use of the new edition but members from the goat clan have freely revealed that the chickens were working on a new "Chickens Gone Wild" video. The chicken clan would not confirm or deny this claim and were unavailable for further comment stating the Chicken Privacy Act. No details have ever been found on the CPA, however last year the Mini-K Ranch added the "Little Duece Coop" to it's resources of egg production. Still, egg production has never increased since purchasing the new edition.
There is no word on the relationship to the egg production decline and the effectiveness of the hens in hiding the eggs from the Farmer Looking Guy in Overalls. Mini-K Ranch officials have repeatively suggested that production is down due to the cold weather but based on recent events there could be other explanations. About 13 months ago the hens of Mini-K were all put into lockdown after being convicted of Laying with Intent to Hide. They were placed into lockdown to "correct" the issue. There is no indication that the corrective actions taken by the Farmer Looking Guy in Overalls is a temporary or a permanent one. The Goat Clan has refused to comment.
Mini-K Officials have indeed revealed that a purchase of an unspecified amount was completed in recent weeks for "camera equipment" from an out of state vendor. No more details were revealed but as the new edition nears completion, the chicken clan has still not increased egg production. There's also no word to determine if the camera equipment was purchased with flowered checks. Authorities have also confirmed that Mini-K Ranch officials are not releasing any photos of the new edition although they do admit to having them. No further information is available at this time.
