give the kid a chore.... feeding the chickens every day before school, and collect the eggs
If you're having Will do it, you might want to look for a design where the eggs roll down away from the birds automatically since chickens can be ill-tempered and are made of muscles and sharp bits. Checking around for a docile breed would be good too.
Seems like something you'd want to discuss with your wife, as well. Chickens shit anywhere and gashes becoming infected could be an issue.
