A Word from your Melbourne South & Gippsland Franchisee
Hi, my name is Jess and I operate the Melbourne South & Gippsland franchise, which services an extensive area. I travel as far as St Kilda, down the South-East side of Port Phillip Bay, encasing the Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Bay. This includes Phillip Island. North of the bays I service all suburbs on the southern side of the M1 Monash Freeway and out east to Pakenham. Then our service area opens up to both north and south sides of the M. We continue as far east as Bairnsdale on the Princes Highway and cover all surrounding towns. Have a look at our website and see what Our Program has to offer. After that, just send an enquiry via this website and we will find a date that suits your organisation. You will then be able to to hatch your very own baby chicks!
Our educational hatching program is a wonderful learning experience for children of all ages. It is also a very popular animal therapy & diversional activity program for aged care residents. Seeing the miracle of an egg come to life is such an amazing experience. No matter how many times you witness an egg hatch, that amazing feeling never fades.
I will deliver your program between 9am & 3pm on your nominated Monday. It arrives as a convenient package, complete with all the equipment and essentials you will need to hatch and care for your newfound feathered friends during your 11-day program. Educational resources are also provided for you to learn about the life-cycle of chicks, what to do when they hatch and and how to care for them. Once I have set up all the equipment we will go through the instructions to ensure a successful hatching experience. At the conclusion of your program, the chicks are yours to keep or adopt out to families or friends of your organisation. However, if homes cannot be sourced for the chicks, they can be returned to the Henny Penny Farm. I will collect them when I collect the equipment the following week, between 9am and 3pm on the Friday.
For those who do adopt chicks, Take Home Packs are available. These consist of a feeder, a drinker and enough feed and bedding (wood shavings) to get your chicks through the first 2 weeks in their new home. Instructions on how to care for chicks are included to help families who are raising chicks for the first time.
Should you have any concerns during your program, my number is 0407 888 278. If I am unable to answer please leave a message & I shall respond as soon as possible.
The price per unit for our hatching program is $375 +GST*. We also offer a multi-unit discount for customers wanting more than one unit delivered to the same place, on the same day, so why don’t you book one for each of your classrooms or areas! The cost for multiple units is $365 +GST* per unit.
The wonder of new life, how it begins and the nurturing that follows, is something we believe everybody should be able experience in their lifetime. I look forward to bringing that experience to you!
