Study life cycles in your elementary or child care classroom the hands-on way by hatching ducklings! Through close observation, your students will come to understand the special needs and care needed for the eggs and the ducklings along the way.

A digital incubator with automatic turner, fertilized eggs and resource kit are provided. Once the eggs have hatched, all the ducklings, the incubator and all materials are returned to Creature Quest. Pick-up at our Mississauga office by appointment or delivery for a small fee is available. Ducklings are re-homed to southern Ontario farms.

*Quail eggs are occasionally available. If interested, please ask.
