Hatching at Home

05/10/2026

My hatching program is such a wonderful experience for families and classrooms!

Such a great review from a teacher who just finished …

“Incubating and hatching chicken eggs with Hatching at Home was such a magical, engaging experience for my kindergarten class!

I started with no prior knowledge or experience whatsoever, and the provided curriculum made it easy for me to learn right along with my students. The curriculum is well-written, easy to follow, and fits perfectly into common core science and ELA content standards.

The supply kit, curriculum, and instructional videos provide everything you need from start to finish. The videos walk you through exactly how to do everything and are perfect for introducing each stage of the process to students. Wendee responds quickly whenever you text her with questions, too.

We started incubating the eggs just after spring break, which can be a difficult transition time for students to get back into academic routines. But my students were captivated from day one with the first instructional video we watched together. It was an emotional last day when we said goodbye to the chicks we’d spent a week caring for and watching grow in the classroom.

I plan to do this every year from now on. The benefits are priceless, from sharing the deeply moving experience of watching a chick emerge from its egg, to the curiosity, excitement, and pure joy the baby chicks inspired in us all.”

These babies just came back to us after being hatched in a classroom in the Bay area. Aren't they beautiful?! 😍

They are happy chicks, too. They have had a lot of love and tender affection since they hatched. 🐣

Need a summer learning project for your child? We offer hatching rental kits that include a curriculum!

At the end of the 4-week program, you can send chicks back or keep them. If you get roosters, we will take them back at ANY age. Details at HatchingAtHome.com
