New Mini Play sets from Schleich! The Small Farm Animal Set includes: Hen, Domestic Goat & Fence Set. Domestic goats were domesticated in the Middle East prior to the 11th century BC. This goat is considered one of the easiest to keep. Goats provide meat, leather and milk. Popular for their eggs and meat, chickens can be housed at a home, at a farm or by the thousands. As omnivores, chickens eat insects, seeds and even mice and lizards. Living up to a decade, chickens generally stay on land but have been known to fly in short bursts.
