Little Farmer of Mine
It's up to us to raise the next generation of farmers. This is where it starts.
The Home Hatchery
Project - $70
This engaging project teaches kids the basics of life through hatching chickens. With our rental incubator, guide sheet, and 12 chicken eggs, your little farmers will monitor their chicks' progress over 21 days, recording data on temperature, humidity, and egg development. With a 90% hatch rate, your kids will be responsible to feed and take care of their chicks that they can keep as their own, sell, or return home to Country Critters.
Includes: incubator, eggs, heat lamp, chick bin, pine shaving, food/water dishes and food
*rental items are to be returned by the dates given
*additional items will need to be purchased the longer you keep the chicks
This unique 3 week course gives kids the chance of a lifetime! Farmers don't just raise animals and grow crops, they use tools for building cages to keep them safe! It begins with the harvesting of chicken eggs. Kids write their names on the eggs and place them into the incubator. Twice a week the kids return to check the progress of their eggs and work on their VERY OWN chicken coop. They will learn how to use a tape measure, drill in screws and staple hardwire mesh to complete a chicken coop. Their final class will land on the same day their chicks hatch allowing them to take home their masterpiece and babies. The purchase is for one coop up to 4 kids working on it.
Includes: chicken coop, eggs, heat lamp, food and water dishes
*we recommend one adult attend the classes
*safety glasses and gloves will be provided
