Any suggestions

[Alden Chickens]

I am leading a workshop on raising baby chicks for a mother/daughter gathering at our church on Saturday. I am looking for some kind of game that can be done to fill some of the time I have to fill. There will be about a dozen in the workshop. Any ideas?

Lol you could always make everyone do the chicken dance

Bring a box and show them candling, if you have the eggs to do it. Everyone likes this especially kids and it's a useful skill to learn

if you have chicks you could do anything from a petting zoo type thing to a chick race lol just keep them supervised and safe!

Kids love silkies!! Idk if you have any but they are always a hit!

My chicks are past the cute stage and since there is a meal planned in the room next to the one I am doing my workshop and I wasn't sure how stressful it would be I would rather not take any birds- besides they are such a pain to catch I only have boring Red Sex Link hens and pullets so I don't have eggs to candle or fancy breeds to show off. I do plan on bringing eggs as I have quite a variety of shades and sizes. I will bring all my brooder set up and have made up a simple power point. I also have a new mason jar feeder that I fill with some M&M's Chocolate should keep ladies and girls happy.

Feeding the chicks feed is as good as it gets.

You could show them how effectionate birds can be.....Buff orpingtons are another big hit....
