The rooster is dead! Long live the rooster!

I belong to a local parenting email list, and there was a recent discussion of farms where kids can do hands-on activities with the animals. One mother praised a recent trip she had taken with her kids to a local farm, where "the kids actually pick veggies and collect eggs from a chicken coup- while the chickens are pecking at your feet." My advice? Don't try to steal eggs while a revolution is in progress.
