Rockwood, ON 2023.jpg

Rockwood, Ontario - Homestead Berty serves the GTA and South-Central Ontario! With Homestead Berty growing up in Amsterdam, she never had been up close to a chicken until way into her 30s! One day, her daughter was given chicks and since then they were hooked. In her opinion, chickens are the funniest and most therapeutic animals on this planet! Just sit with or watch a chicken and all will be calm! On top of that, they provide the most delicious eggs every day! Homestead Berty is so happy that she has the opportunity to share all of this with other people through our Hatch The Chicken program. She is looking forward to meeting you!

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.
