How does it work?
Did you know?
Birds hatch from the 'fat' end of the egg!
At the beginning of your pre-booked 10 day hire period, we will arrive at the care home and set up the equipment. We will then run through the things you need to know and answer any questions.
The chicks or ducklings will hatch within a few days and are then transferred from the incubator to the brooding unit.
The chicks or ducklings then live in the brooding unit, where they can be cared for, carefully handled under adult supervision, observed and their antics enjoyed!
We will then collect all equipment and any birds the setting wishes to sign over to our ownership if no suitable home is available. We provide a re-homing suitability checklist and guide.
