Schools & Nurseries - we are now taking bookings for 2019

With 8 years experience working successfully with many hundreds of schools and nurseries, Incredible Eggs is a proven name you can trust, whether you are a confident old hand or an anxious first-timer hatcher.

We make it our business to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible, from the moment you contact us to the end of the hire period, leaving everyone free to concentrate on enjoying this wonderful experience.

How does It work?

At the beginning of your pre-booked 10 day hire period, we will arrive at the school or nursery and set up the equipment. We will then run through the things you need to know and answer any questions.
The chicks, ducklings or partridges will hatch within a few days and are then transferred from the incubator to the brooding unit.
The chicks or ducklings then live in the brooding unit, where they can be cared for, carefully handled under adult supervision, observed and their antics enjoyed!
We recommend that a responsible adult takes the hatched birds home over the weekend, unless someone is on site to care for them. The kit is portable and fits into the back of a car.
We will then collect all equipment and any birds the setting wishes to sign over to our ownership.

What’s included?

The package consists of EVERYTHING you need, delivered, set up for you and collected at the end of the process. This includes:

Delivery and collection
Setting up and instructions session with the supervising teacher
Advice and support ‘hotline’ throughout the process.
Downloadable age appropriate learning resources, prepared by professionals
An incubator with excellent egg visibility
Fertile hen, duck or partridge hatching eggs
A brooding cage, complete with heater, drinker and feeder
Wood shavings, to cover the brooder floor and feed.

New for 2019!

Our new information poster outlines our work in the preservation of heritage breeds and wildlife conservation, as well as showing the high standards in animal welfare to which we subscribe. It contains photographs taken at our branch farms of our birds and facilities and will hopefully make those goodbyes a little less sad!

We also hope it will both inform and reassure all those involved that your hatching kit has been responsibly sourced from an ethical provider.

PDFs to download and print can be found on each booking page and in the resources section of the website.

Educational Resources

We have a downloadable differentiated, age appropriate resource pack specifically designed in line with The National Curriculum for each age group: EYFS, KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4. These have been created by educational professionals exclusively for the use of the schools and nurseries who book with us. Easy to use, educational and fun, these resources will ensure your students get the most from their hatching experience.
