Eggs for Teachers

If you are a local teacher and have the equipment to incubate eggs and care for chicks, then we have fertilized eggs for you. And even better, if you bring back the chicks to us when you are done caring for them, the eggs are free! We hope our eggs will help you teach your students about embryology, and how fun it is to hold baby chicks!

To request eggs, please fill out the form below. We will confirm your pickup as the date nears. You can request up to 3 dozen eggs, but please make sure you have a brooder large enough to care for the resulting chicks. Anticipate 6 to 8 chicks per dozen eggs.

If you are a homeschool teacher, please enter Home School.
