Smile Buy/Rent a chicken coop in Maryland

I am a big fan of Squeals on Wheels petting zoo which is located in Maryland. I was skimming through their site just now and found that they just began selling and renting chicken coops. I think this is such a great idea-especially for children. You would have the chickens for a month, collect the eggs and the children would learn so much... about where food comes from, life cycles and all... Let me know what you guys think...

How old are your children?
Old enough to understand that you must kill the chicken in order to eat it?
(I am being fully serious).

If that is a cool thing, then go and raise them and you can always sell the eggs!!
