Chicken Egg Hatching Science Kit – 25-Egg Automatic Incubator, Watch Chicks Develop & Hatch, with Curriculum & Worksheets
Turn your kitchen or classroom into a hatchery! Kids set up a real incubator, care for the eggs day by day, and watch baby chicks develop and hatch in about three weeks.
What's in the box
- 25-egg incubator with automatic egg turning (adjustable interval, every 120 minutes by default)
- Clear lid so kids can watch the eggs without opening it
- Digital control panel and display
- External water bottle for topping up humidity without lifting the lid
Fertile eggs are not included. Pick them up from a local farm, hatchery or online supplier.
