That's interesting if they provide the chicks to raise!
It will definitely be a way to start getting them some public speaking experience. The one thing I will say is the more they know about their chickens and chickens in general, the more confident they'll feel going in. And watch a lot of videos and practice practice practice. Hopefully there are some older kids who might be able to do some mentoring as well. You'll learn a lot the first year for sure! When you're able to get a copy of the fairbook, check out all the other project areas as well. Our still exhibits (non-animal) area has all kinds of areas like crafts, sewing, baking, photography, animal science, shooting sports, woodworking.. even scrapbooking so you might find some other projects your kids could also work on over the winter/spring/summer to stay busy.
Feel free to pm if you think of any other questions!
