Meg O'Day Chicken Facebook Post
The Stern brothers moved to New Jersey from their father’s Staten Island farm in the 1920s. Originally planning to work in the ice cream business, they quickly realized that the land around Vineland was well-suited to raising chickens. This little Leghorn hen won renown – and a blue ribbon – when she laid an egg a day for an entire year. Gus Stern was so proud of Meg O’Day that he visited a taxidermist after she moved on to greener pastures.
