Transportation Logistics
Our Hatch The Chicken rentals include FREE DELIVERY and free pick up to our predetermined meetup location in Ionia, MI on a predetermined day with a time to be determined closer to the meeting date. Through the pandemic, we learned that with an amazing tutorial video, our renters can watch the video, and "setup" the incubator in minutes! Otherwise, delivery can be provided to the Grand Rapids area for $100-$280 for total transporation costs depending on your location.

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.
