Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had a cow. Which of the following sounds did his cow make?

Answer: Moo!

Pigs oink! Ducks quack! Horses neigh! When a cow moos, that usually means that she is unhappy about something. Happy cows are usually quiet - other than the munching sound they make while eating or chewing their cud.
2. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had a pig. Which of the following is a characteristic of a pig?

Answer: He is not a very picky eater.

Pigs are omnivores - they eat many different types of food. They do, however, need a balanced diet in order to be healthy and grow. While they will eat fruit, vegetables, and even bugs, most farmers use corn or soybean meal as the main ingredient in their diet. In addition, dried whey for protein, and sugar, which helps to give pigs energy, is used.
3. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had a lamb. A lamb will grow up to be which of the following?

Answer: Sheep

A baby sheep is called a lamb, its mother is called a ewe, and its father is called a ram. Sheep were among the first animals to be domesticated, and are found throughout the majority of the inhabited world today.
4. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had a chicken. What kind of food does a chicken provide on the farm?

Answer: Eggs

Many chickens are farmed for eggs. Some breeds of the hen, the female who lays the eggs, can lay as many as three hundred eggs a year! After those twelve months of laying eggs, many times the hen's ability to produce is not as good. What happens? They become supper!
5. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had a duck. Which of the following colors is a baby duck most likely to be?

Answer: Yellow

While not all ducks are yellow at birth, they certainly are not pink, blue, or purple! Ducks have many uses on Old MacDonald's farm, such as providing eggs, meat, and feathers, which are very soft and used for down.
6. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had a horse. Which name could be used for a male horse?

Answer: Stallion

A male horse is a stallion; a female is called a filly until she is four years old, after which she is called a mare. A foal is a baby horse. The term stallion is also used to describe male zebras and donkeys.
7. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had a goat. What does Old MacDonald need to do to keep his goat happy?

Answer: Make sure to have more than one goat.

Goats are very social animals, and even though they like human attention, what they really want is to be around other goats. When they are alone, they are likely to get bored and into mischief. Goats prefer to eat bushes or hay before grass, and do not eat tin cans. They do not like to be wet, so it is important for Old MacDonald to have plenty of dry shelter for them.
8. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had some bees. Bees? Why would Old MacDonald keep bees?

Answer: He likes honey.

Bees are very important because they aid in the pollination of plants, as well as producing honey and beeswax. Beekeeping by humans has been practiced since ancient times. Jars of honey, which was used as a sweetener, were found in the ancient Egyptian tomb of King Tutankhamun.
9. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he saw a mouse. Oh, no! What other animal will help Old MacDonald to get rid of the mouse?

Answer: A cat!

Cats are born hunters. At an early age they begin stalking and pouncing. Mice not only pose a health threat on the farm, but they can damage food stores. Cats can catch mice fairly easily, as they are smaller and don't always have options for escape. It is common for farmers like Old MacDonald to keep cats.
10. Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O! And on his farm he had a turkey. For which holiday in the United States would Old MacDonald's wife be sure to stuff a turkey?

Answer: Thanksgiving

Turkey is a popular meat for Mrs. MacDonald to make for the Thanksgiving meal. Although wild turkeys can be found in some areas, it is a popular animal to raise on farms. A domesticated turkey can weigh twice as much as a wild turkey.
