Hatch Your Own Rentals

Experience the sheer delight of watching chicks hatch right before your eyes! This is an exciting educational experience for schools, homeschools, curious families and other institutions looking for a unique experience.

With the option to keep the chicks at no extra cost, this is also an excellent way to get started on your first covey!

About the program

Our rental kits provide everything you need to hatch a dozen eggs and care for the quail chicks during their first two weeks of life. At the end of the 4 week rental period you have the option to keep, re-home, or return the chicks to us.

Witnessing the hatching process and rapid development of the chicks is truly an unforgettable experience for all!
