Lots of FFAs do that. They did it back when my kids were in FFA.

Personally, I think it's an awesome idea! Go for it Dad!!

Question though...what becomes of the successful hatchlings? Will they go back home to your place? Or will they be adopted out to various students?

This sounds like a most excellent way to get some kids involved with the raising and keeping of chickens who might otherwise not have gotten involved with them!

They Hatchling will come back home with us after the first week or so.
