Also gave out a game chick to a kid interested in prevet / zoo management. Setup so kid and teacher can contact me on a regular basis. That is the type of sustained contact that promotes interest. My professional concern is with agriculture and aquaculture but the games provide an exceptional training tool where interactions stemming from behavior have be emphasized. As a general rule, even the rural kids are getting uncoupled from knowledge about how animals operate and respond to our husbandry. The problem is even well demonstrated in adults engaged in commercial poultry production where factory setups are of the all in / all out arrangement.

good for what you're doing, sad on the other parts. Although I prolly would a gave them 2. There's prolly a loud chick somewhere lol
