The only thing about that is that if the parents are the ones actually taking care of the chick and being responsible for it then why would the child have to be at least 10? My oldest will be 5 next Thursday and ever since we decided to get chickens (although they'll be family chickens, not just hers) she has been saying she wants to help when we get them (hopefully getting some this weekend). However, me and my husband will be the ones actually making sure they are taken care of, but we will let her help (with our VERY close supervision of course).
I think the idea of handing out pamphlets is excellent! Especially if you can put this web address on them. I have learned so much from you all just in the few days since I've joined this forum! Unfortunately, there will always be those that would just throw the pamphlet away without barely a glance, but maybe they could help a few at least?
