Hatching At Home
Connecting kids to the wonder of new life
Provide a learning experience that your child or students will never forget! Hatching teaches kids:
-
patience
-
increased empathy
-
a sense of connection
-
a deeper appreciation of life
Our 4-week program gives you all the equipment and support you need to to incubate, hatch, and care for your chicks during their first week of life. No experience in hatching? No problem! Our videos, guide, and on-call support will make it easy. Our program is available for families, teachers, and homeschool groups in Sacramento and surrounding areas.

How It Works
1
Hatch
Pick up your rental kit from our farm in Shingle Springs. Incubate eggs for 21 days. Grab some popcorn and watch the show!

Enjoy
Place your chicks in the brooder box included with your kit. Watch them eat, drink, sleep, and play. You can hold your chicks for short periods.
3
Return
At the end of your 4-week rental, you'll return your kit to the farm. You can keep your chicks, give them away, or return them to the farm.
