A Moment They’ll Never Forget
From the first crack in the shell to the first cuddle, this is the kind of experience children remember for years.
More Than a Hatch — It’s a Memory in the Making
There is something powerful about watching life begin.
The room gets quiet.
The shell starts to move.
A tiny crack appears.
And suddenly, your child is witnessing something real, fragile, and unforgettable.
This is not just a fun activity.
It is a moment of wonder. A lesson in patience. A chance to connect with life in a way no screen ever could.
Children who watch life hatch develop wonder, patience, and connection that no screen can teach.

Honestly, this was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had as a family. Watching our goslings hatch was a powerful reminder of the beauty (and fragility) of life. Even in the face of adversity, our little one who struggled made it, and that resilience was incredible to witness.
We were thrilled to have 4 out of 4 fertilized eggs hatch and grow strong. It was an unforgettable learning journey, especially for our kids (ages 2 and 6), and such a beautiful way to help them connect with nature and the cycle of life.
We’ll absolutely be doing this again. Thank you, Nanny McKlukins, for an experience that has already become a core memory in our home.
What Families Are Saying
Joelle Morrisey
We have had SO much fun hatching ducks. My kids were so thrilled to watch the process, and we all learned a lot about how ducks hatch. The ducks are so cute and snuggly, and quickly become super fun to play with when they get to be a few days old.
Would definitely do this again, it is laid out great, with all the steps in a printable document as well as contact information if you need help!

We hatched chickens and Ducks this past 2 months and I cannot say enough good things about these amazing people! They provided everything needed and incredibly detailed instructions. On top of that they were readily available to answer any questions we had. Pick up and drop off was well organized. The equipment provided was in perfect condition and clear instructions on how to clean and return the equipment were given. We hatched 4 chickens and 1 duck. We became so attached to our sweet duck whom we named, ‘Freckles.’ He lived amongst us and provided us with the most magical and precious 2 weeks. We were in awe watching the bond he formed with our 4-year-old and we were so proud to watch the compassion and gentleness our son showed to his little duckling. Saying goodbye was hard, however knowing that Freckles was going on to live a life he deserved with other ducks on a beautiful farm made saying goodbye a lot easier. This experience has been well worth it and we are so thankful to the folks that run this business.
Is this hard to do?
Not at all. The experience is designed to be simple and guided, even for first-time families.
Is it safe for children?
Yes. With normal supervision and proper handling, this is a family-friendly experience designed to be both educational and memorable.
What if I’ve never done anything like this before?
That’s completely fine. Most families haven’t. We guide you step by step.
What happens after the hatch?
This is our most asked and most important question. ALL the birds, even the boys do go back to the farm that they belong to. We are partnered with small family farms intent on growing their flocks or who breed birds for other farms.
How long does the experience last?
This depends on the experience you choose. Our Fosters are one week long and full hatching experiences range from 4 to 6 weeks in total.
Are spots limited?
Yes. Hatch timing is seasonal and availability is limited.
They May Forget the Toy. They Won’t Forget This.
One small crack in the shell can become a moment your child talks about for years.
If you have been waiting for something meaningful, memorable, and genuinely magical to do as a family,
this is it.
