Educational Scavenger Hunt

For our last Open Barn a couple weeks ago, we decided to do something different and fun. We had an educational scavenger hunt where people could find all the answers around the farm on our educational displays. Well, it took a little longer than we expected, but we have a winner.
First, we'll give you all the right answers:

Ole is 14 years old (15 in May)
There are approximately 750,000,000 horses in the world
Our manure pile is turned every couple of weeks
Roma was born in Yelm, WA
Hens sit on eggs for 21 days to hatch them
Neesa's sire is Erlend
Horses drink 10-15 gallons of water a day
Chickens average 250-275 eggs per year
The oldest horse was Old Billy at 62 years old
KOMO TV came out and did a story on Noel
Horses were introduced to Australia in 1788
The Everett Herald put our farm on the front cover of "The Good Life"
The German name of the Fjord is Fjordpferd

Here's where our winner came in...Bonus question was, "How many animals live at Willows Edge Farm?"
Here's our count:
7 Norwegian Fjord horses
3 rabbits
2 barn cats
and .... 32 chickens for a total of 44, which makes Georgia Wood our farm's gift certificate winner! Way to go Georgia!!
