I think I'm gonna get some chickens in the Spring.

I'm thinking like 4 or 5 hens for eggs, and to give the kid a chore.... feeding the chickens every day before school, and collect the eggs.

I'm thinking of just getting this coop kit:

Probably not that exact one, but like it. Yeah I could build one on my own, but why bother when I can just do this.

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.

The wife will do what she is told.
