  More from the MuseumTour expert:
Consider raising chicks as a way of providing an amazing experience for children and adults alike, a lesson in development and controlled environments, and an outlet for a healthy love, interest, and respect for animals.
Hatch a Batch of Live Little Chicks!

Children experience the magic of birth by watching eggs hatch in this digital incubator. Simply choose one of five settings (chicken, duck, pheasant, quail or mystery bird) and a micro controller holds the correct temperature, turns the eggs automatically and even counts down the days to hatching time! Great for teachers, hobbyists or young birders, the unit accommodates three eggs, features a large observation window and a sensory alarm to protect the eggs' environment. Obtain fertile eggs at any local feed store or hatchery, or visit the hatcheries linked below. Detailed guide included.

Museum Tour feels that it is important for growing minds to be informed on the proper rearing and care of animals. Please consider the following before purchasing this product.

Chickens are very social, intelligent birds that will require specific care. There are many risks posed to a bird’s health and well-being when they are kept as a pet. We feel that it is critical to become educated in providing adequate care and conditions for these animals, before making the commitment to include them as a long term member of your family.

We recommend the following links to help inform your decision:

The Humane Society provides general information about chickens. Follow their links to research ethical issues surrounding chicken rearing & production: http://www.hsus.org/farm/resources/animals/chickens/

PoultryOne provides recommendations on the proper raising of chickens: http://poultryone.com/articles/raisingchickens.html

    My 6 year old begged for this and was not disappointed. We are in our second year of successfully hatching chicks. It is easy to use, and the chicks hatch just as described! Our kids LOVE to play with the babies and we are always able to give them to a nearby farm. Definitely one of our favorite purchases!
