Indiana s first family is reaping the benefits of a pandemic project – fresh eggs from a chicken coop added last year to the governor s residence.
And the four hens – Iris, Violet, Peony and Daisy – are giving Henry, Indiana s first dog, some competition.
First lady Janet Holcomb recently showed off the coop, saying Iris is the unofficial leader of the hens. And she said 10-year-old Henry, whom the Holcombs have had since he was a puppy, gets along just fine with them.
