HIRE OF Incubator R-Com Mini (3 eggs) & Free Fertile Eggs of your choice
Just add the eggs and a little bit of water - watch your chicks hatch!! FREE INCUBATION BOOK, by Katie ThearHave the excitement of watching chicks hatch at home, at school or wherever you think the excitement would be enjoyed. The exact day the chick will hatch can be planned, so this would make a unforgetable Birthday present for a child or grandchild! Our incubators are fully automatic and only need regular topping up with water. They could not be easier to operate and look after.
Hen chicks take 21 days to develop and hatch (ducks eggs take 28 days). A couple of days before hatching the chicks often start to cheep. That is when the excitement starts. A day before they actually hatch, the chicks make a first crack in the shell. This is known as pipping. You will see the chick’s beak working, in short bursts, to make the hole bigger and ultimately break the shell open to enable it to struggle out. Within minutes the newly hatched chick will gain in strength before your eyes and start to dry out and fluff up. Within hours you will have a gorgeous fluffy chick making its way around the incubators and cheeping to encourage its siblings to take the plunge and join the world. The chicks need to completely dry out and fluff up before being removed, which takes about 24 hours.
We give Support & Advice througout!
We can take the chicks back if you do not have a home for them (we will refund £2 per chick)
The hire of the incubator is for 4 weeks
We can also hire out the heat lamp for rearing the chicks for the first few weeks of life (£15) Chicks can reared in a cardboard box with shavings and the heat lamp positioned over them, so the temp in the box is about 30C, gradually reducing to normal room temp within about 4 weeks
Food, drinkers and feeder are also available at a small cost
You can choose either hens eggs or ducks eggs, we will ring you when we receive the order and go through the breeds available.
A deposit of £50 is needed, which is refunded once the incubator is back with us in working order.
DISCLAIMER
Whilst we make every effort to supply fresh, fertile eggs, there is no guarantee that all the eggs will hatch. If no eggs hatch at all in a batch supplied we will supply replacement eggs and renew the incubator hire at a reduced rate of £10 for the next three weeks. This only applies to eggs supplied by us.
