Hire An Incubator!!
The Farm has eight incubators and related equipment available for hire. This enables hiring groups to experience the amazing opportunity of hatching out chicks at their own organisation and then looking after them for a whole week!
The Incubator Scheme has three phases that reflect the half-terms for Schools in Merton, as shown on the right of this page.
Incubator Scheme in 2009

Important Note: We prioritise groups within the London Borough of Merton (LBM) by only taking bookings from them up until 1st November. After this date, the scheme is open to all.

In order for us to take a booking, you must make an enquiry and a provisional booking.  Then you need to sign and return a copy of the leaflet below. You should also find all the details you require in this leaflet, but if you have any questions, then do give us a call on 020 8545 2173.

Incubator Scheme Leaflet

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

We regret that we no longer offer fertile eggs for sale for individuals or groups to purchase to put in their own incubator.  Also, we do not have the space to appropriately home hatchlings from anyone who has hatched out chicks or ducklings.  Fertile eggs are often available through Ebay.  Those wishing to incubate eggs should approach other Farms to ensure that they have somewhere to donate the hatchlings before starting incubation.

Note on Deliveries

The Farm will try to arrange deliveries that are convenient to the Hirer and the Farm, but the ultimate decision of a delivery date and time is the Farm's.

Our Popular Presentation?

For a small charge, the Farm is happy to give a presentation to classes at the nursery or school to explain about looking after the eggs and hatching out chicks. This usually includes bringing a live, adult bird to the group to show them what might have laid the eggs they are looking after!
