miniHatch is a revolutionary new program bringing the amazing miracle of life into homes and classrooms.  The use of the newest, most digitally advanced incubators available are placed at locations interested in hosting one of our machines.

The miniHatch objective is to provide students in the numerous schools of British Columbia with an opportunity to hatch eggs in their classrooms and bridge the growing disconnect between students, agriculture and their food supply, with the ultimate goal of promoting food security in the province of British Columbia and Canada as a whole.

Please visit our miniHatch Frequently Asked Questions page to see a list of common questions about our program including health concerns and what will come to your classroom.

Why miniHatch?

The miniHatch service provides eggs, the incubator, whichever is selected, and pickup of chicks after they hatch.  The chicks we hatch are exhibition quality poultry that return to our breeding farm.  If you go to some of the fairs in British Columbia, you may just see some of the birds your class hatched!

The service is the first of its kind in the country, and is currently run out of the C. Botkin Avian Research Facility in Delta B.C.

We at miniHatch are committed to providing you the opportunity to experience nature in its most amazing form wherever you are. 

The miniHatch program is very simple to follow, just call our hatching hotline or e-mail us to book a visit or a professional development appointment at our office and you are ready to begin!

Book Early!

In 2010-2011, we will have a limited number of machines available each week to begin their incubation period.  In order to assure you can have a machine for your desired time, please call as soon as possible or email us at reserve@minihatch.com. We hope to provide all interested groups the opportunity to enroll in the program this year.
