Our Program

We’re founded on ethical care of our animals.

  • We require that everyone involved respects the chicks as living creatures and makes sure that they are kept safe and secure at all times.
  • Our extensive re-homing program puts the welfare of each animal as our number one priority.
  • We source eggs ethically from a commercial hatchery that produces layer strain eggs, and adheres to the Australian Poultry Standards.

The Henny Penny Hatching program provides such a beautiful experience for the children while requiring minimal preparation/maintenance on the part of the educator, as everything is provided.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the wonderful chicken hatching experience we had with your company. It was absolutely brilliant and as I am sure you hear all the time, we had many residents involved, talking and interacting, who rarely or never do this.

It is a great experience for children, it is very professional. The Henny Penny Hatching staff are very friendly and supportive and take the time to explain everything clearly. We can call them at any time with any questions or concerns.

Nicole

Excellent service was provided, everything was clean and well-presented and the students were able to view and interact with the chicks. The program was a wonderful way for the students to witness the life cycle of the chicken first-hand.

Janine

Glenhaven Public School, Glenhaven NSW

Our classroom experience in learning about new life and caring for newborn chicks was so valuable. You can't get that from books or YouTube! The students learned lots about care, bonding, compassion, safety and most of all love.

Jane

Edinburgh Adventist Primary, Lilydale VIC

Every day the children were fortunate enough to witness a chick hatching from its shell. The growth of the chicks was remarkable and having the opportunity to care for animals gave the children confidence and an understanding of animal life.
