The Dogmother Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I took three of the girls to Brownies last night.brown Owl had asked me to take them in and give the girls a talk after reading about them on Rosie's Friend to Animals badge. All of them were very well behaved, sitting nicely on tea-towels on peoples' laps while being stroked and admired. I must admit that it wasn't an easy task to get 25 Brownies to be quiet and calm I managed to get in a plug for Omlet and BHWT, wore my BHWT sweatshirt and Brown Owl and I both explained to them about voting with their shopping trollies regarding battery products. I ran off the Omlet test from the schools section of the website and talked them through the life-cycle of chooks - let's see how many of them were listening and get the answers right.

The Dogmother Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 I am always interested to hear what people think about hens and the mis-conceptions they have. There were some lovely questions and some pretty daft ones too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Well done Clare! Good work! Get 'em interested young. The children in my class know as much about chickens and donkeys as I do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 You're welcome any time. We must arrange something when the weather is a little warmer and she can have a proper ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley-Jean Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 It sounds as if you gave the brownies a fantastic introduction to chickens Clare. I wonder how many of them will be pestering their parents to have some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
