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!
In 2011-2012, 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.
Update- January 2012- We still have room for spring registrations! Send in your registration as soon as possible to reserve your space!
