Our Chick Hatching Rental Experience is designed to educate and inspire families, homeschool groups, and classrooms about the wonders of life cycles, responsibility, and care for living creatures.
The rental experience lasts four weeks, during which you will incubate eggs, observe the hatching process, and learn about caring for baby chicks.
To ensure a good hatch rate, you will need to provide a suitable space close to an electrical outlet for the incubator and chicks. Room temperature should not go below 50 degrees at any time during the incubation process. We provide everything else!
Yes! Our experience is designed to be educational and engaging for families and groups of all ages, including children and adults. The elementary curriculum that is included in the basic kit is oriented towards 3rd graders but can be adapted to any age.

Yes, families can go in together on a rental. We can invoice each family separately. However, please keep in mind that moving the incubator before hatching can harm the developing chicks. So we recommend leaving the incubator in the same spot until the hatch is complete. Once the chicks are moved into the brooder, they can be safely moved to another household, as long as the chicks are kept warm during the move.
Our chicken flock consists of Golden Sexlink hens that are known for high production of large brown eggs. We have a Road Island Red and Delaware Rooster that are very hardy. Which means you will get a hybrid chick.
Our quail covey consists of Jumbo Brown Coturnix Quail. Most are brown in color but occasionally you will get a white one!
