What happens to the chicks?
Here are a number of scenarios as to what happens to the baby chicks after our Hatch The Chicken program is complete:
  • The girls are raised to be hens for Rent The Chicken
  • The girls are raised as breeding stock for Hatch The Chicken
  • The boys are raised to be roosters to fertilize eggs for Hatch The Chicken
  • The girls are raised to lay eggs for our families
  • The boys are raised to protect our flocks to help keep them safe
  • The chicks are sold to families looking to expand their flocks
  • The roosters are sold to families looking to protect their flock

  • 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.
