That is awsome! Babies always help! I would do something on basic care and how "easy" it is to keep chickens. Lure them in! And talk about the differences between store bought eggs and eggs you raise yourself. JMO

Ya gotta love these kids brains, they facinate me, when they latch onto something it is just amazing what they can absorb, course on the other hand if they don't want to learn it, they will just ignore the heck out of it!! Hmm, luring the kids to the dark side, a $100 prize for whoever raises...
