March Employee of the Month!

Iron Fish Farms is heavily invested in staff appreciation.  That's why we are pleased to announce our March employee of the month!  Everyone around the farm has been jockeying for this revered slot.  It was a difficult decision, but one Iron Fish Staff member simply stood out.

We are pleased to honor Yoshi.   Yoshi is a two week old Rhode Island Red chicken.  She joined the Iron Fish staff just a day or two after hatching and has really hit the ground running.  When our chicks were introduced to worms, Yoshi took to it like a chicken to a junebug (almost literally) and while some of her flockmates were still staring at the squirming worms with weary suspicion, Yoshi knew just what to do.

Yoshi was named by our nephew Asher.  The Yoshi of SuperMario (according to Wikipedia --I know, I am so hip) "has a long, sticky tongue that he uses to eat almost anything, even things much larger than himself" and can lay eggs!  Yoshi plans to get into laying eggs in four or five months, but for now says she just wants to focus on "being a normal chick".

Upon hearing of this honor, Yoshi said, "I'm really just your average chicken.  You could say I was at the right place at the right time.  I saw the worm, he was wriggling, and I did what had to be done."

In recognition of this honor, Yoshi will be given a lifetime supply of chicken food and worms, and enjoy a premium roosting spot on the chicken log throughout the month of March.
