LS the girls sit around in the yard listening to a scientific poultry lecture by another young woman who stands before them holding up a chicken. "Life on the farm" scene, with the girls performing various tasks - pushing wheelbarrows past, sawing boards, washing a small wooden structure with slats like bars on one side - a brooder house?
