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.
