Chick Hatching
The Chicken Hatching experience introduces children to the fascinating process of how living things change and grow.
Give children first-hand experience on how life begins for a chicken.
See chickens hatch before your eyes.
Care for them each day to help them grow strong & healthy!
An interactive encounter where children can TOUCH, FEED & LEARN
With our Mobile Chicken Hatching experience, children observe seemingly lifeless eggs crack open and watch fully developed baby chicks emerge. They then experience the amazing transformation from weak and wet new-borns, into fluffy active chicks! Children also learn about the changing needs of the chicks as they grow and develop over a period of 2 weeks..
Little kids love to learn, and interaction with animals help to solidify that learning.

Little kids love to learn, and interaction with animals help to solidify that learning .
Primary school children will love the opportunity to get up close and personal with all our friendly animals! The program fits in perfectly with the school curriculum, and can be a great teaching aid. Allowing the children to be interactive helps to develop their interest in animals, and this can be translated well to the classroom.
