This is why I have locks on the gates, and BIG dogs. Sorry that this happened to you, but just think of all that she,and her family are missing. Sad people.

One good the though. The children will always remember the farm kids that snuck the baby chicken in so they could hold it... Despite their over protective mother.

I agree, these will be little homesteading seeds planted in young hearts. I hope they have the opportunity to get watered some where, or it's possible that the little seeds will die in the hard stony soil of there mothers prejudice.

We asked my DD's kindergarten teacher if we could bring a chick in and she allowed it. She attends a small Christian school, so no governmental overseers in that sense. The kids loved it and this up coming school year, the elementary students will have a farm visit field day where they can actually gather eggs, watch me milk, try cheese or yogurt. I hope this might some day inspire future farmers or at least eliminate some ignorant thinking.

I remember when I was in 4th grade mom brought in baby goats to show off at school. My wife has taken babies in twice I believe to the kids classes. She even gave a making soap demonstration and made the 30 minute mozarella for a class, then the kids ate the cheese. The school had her in next year and she did a cheese making demonstration for 1st through 3rd grade. This was all done at a public school. Guess it is good to live in a rural area.

In preschool the teachers let Paisley bring in a banty for show and tell and Oma's horns that fell off. The teachers were as interested as the kids!

I hope we can continue to do this when she is in grade school. My mom doesn't want me to - she is afraid the kids will think she is weird since she has a goat. Make me SOOO mad when she says that crap.

Meanwhile, we have painters fixing the house who are standing with their mouths wide open watching my goat walk from the pen to hop up on the milkstand. You would think they just saw a real live wooly mammoth!

My story is a little different. We had a newborn calf die when I was teaching high school English. I took it to the biology teacher, and she let the students due a necropsy. The calf had been stepped on right on his kidneys.

Some parents REALLY had a fit about it, but hey, they can cut up fetal pigs, why not something actually USEFUL?

That would be the coolest thing, Alice. I wish my HS bio class had had that opportunity.

Then again, when we did dissections in that class, I was the one going, "Oh cool, there's its heart. Wow, the brain looks really neat!" I had to do all the work because my lab partner sat in the corner trying not to puke through every single one. I didn't mind, though.

You responded better than I would have. Talk about an overstep in personal space.

Who goes through people's refridgerators? And then proceeds to throw stuff out!?!

Just, unbelievable. Slime! Her poor children! Unable to pet the goats! Please! How disconnected people are from the world today...
