Chick Incubation for the Classroom

At this time, we regret to inform you that we will not be able to offer the Chick Incubation and Embryology program during the 2026–2027 school year. We anticipate that the program will be on hold only for this upcoming school year.

We understand the value this experience has brought to your students/residents/patrons in the past, and we share your disappointment in not being able to continue the program this coming year. This decision was not made lightly and is due to a combination of biosecurity considerations and ongoing building-related constraints that limit our ability to safely and effectively operate the program at this time.

We sincerely appreciate your past participation and partnership. It has been a pleasure working with you and seeing the positive impact of this hands-on educational experience.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. In the meantime, we suggest the following sources for fertile hatching eggs next year:

Murray Mc-Murray Hatchery; https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/chicken_eggs.html
Stromberg’s Hatchery; https://www.strombergschickens.com/live-birds-eggs/fertilized-eggs/chicken-eggs/
Online Series from CCE Orange County: https://cceorangecounty.org/resources/incubation-and-embryology-2020

While we are happy to recommend these organizations, we are unable to provide the support typically offered through our Chick Incubation and Embryology Program. Additionally, we will be unable to accept any hatched poultry at our farm.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We are looking forward to collaborating in the future.
