Looking to continue the hatching journey at home?
Explore our carefully selected range of hatchlings and essential accessories to ensure your hatchlings are safe, warm, and well cared for.

• Hatchlings are flock animals and must be adopted in groups of at least 3 chicks or 2 ducklings.
  

• They must be kept indoors under a heat lamp until feathered (approx. 6–9 weeks, depending on the season).
  

• Don’t forget to add essentials—such as a heat lamp, feed, and bedding—to your order.

👉 Consider a Starter Kit to make sure you have everything you need.

📦Product Delivery

All items ordered through the Store will be delivered to your school (not your home) on the second Friday when we return to collect equipment and remaining hatchlings.

STEP 1: Complete the Adoption Form (orders close 5pm, 2nd Wednesday)

This isn’t an approval process—it’s simply to help you understand your responsibilities, including the need to rehome any roosters that you may purchase.

 Adoption Application 

STEP 2: Pay the Adoption Fee via the Shop

Complete your Hatchling adoption by finalising the Adoption Fee via the store below. This fee secures your Hatchlings. All adoptions are processed once payment is received.

STEP 3: Show your itemised paid tax invoice to your centre as proof of payment

An itemised paid tax invoice will be emailed to you once your “Store" order has been received and your adoption payment has been confirmed.

STEP 4: Collect your hatchlings on Thursday and take them home!

Remember to bring a box, as it is your responsibility to collect the hatchlings from the school the day before we return to collect the equipment and remaining hatchlings. 

🚨 If hatchlings are not collected by this time, or if you have changed your mind, they will be returned to the farm, and no refund will be issued.

📌 At pick-up: Neither the school nor our driver will be responsible for selecting or separating hatchlings.
