Learn and grow at home

Home hatchery project

Our Home Hatchery Project lets you hatch and raise baby chicks right at home!

Home Hatchery Project kit with an incubator, 12 chicken eggs, chick feeder and waterer, food, rental bin, instructions and incubation data sheets

For $95, you’ll get an incubator, all the rental equipment you need, chick food and 12 fertile chicken eggs. We’ll also give you instructions and a data sheet so you can keep track of how your chicks are growing inside their eggs.

After about 21 days, your chicks will begin to hatch! You’ll have two more weeks to watch your fluffy little chicken nuggets grow and see their personalities and feathers come out!

At the end of the five-week rental, you’ll return the equipment and decide what you’d like to do with the chicks. You can keep them, give them to friends or bring them back to Country Critters.

We need at least 48 hours’ notice before you can pick up your equipment, so please plan ahead when booking.

It’s a fun, hands-on experience with lots of cute and exciting moments! Quail and duck eggs will be available for hatching at some point as well.
