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.

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 delivery of eggs, the incubator, a candler 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 and you are ready to begin!
