Transportation Logistics
Our Hatch The Chicken rentals include FREE DELIVERY and free pick up to our predetermined meetup location in New Hudson, MI just off of I-96 on a predetermined day with a time to be determined closer to the meeting date. Through the pandemic, we learned that with an amazing tutorial video, our renters can watch the video, and "setup" the incubator in minutes! Otherwise, delivery can be provided to the Ann Arbor area for $60 - $360 for total transporation costs depending on your location.
What happens to the chicks?
Here are a number of scenarios as to what happens to the baby chicks after our Hatch The Chicken program is complete:
We can't confirm what other organizations do with their baby chicks after a hatching program but we know with our whole hearts that all of the chicks hatched with our Hatch The Chicken program provide a purpose following the rental. We value their lives and value what they bring to our business and those who participate in our programs.
