What Does It Involve?
Nore Valley Park began the School Incubator Project in 2014, proving to be tremendously popular, we now provide our educational programme to almost 100 schools per year, across 12 counties. Due to popularity, this project is now offered to:
- creches & pre-schools
- primary schools
- secondary schools (Science/Agricultural Science, TY Projects, etc)
- Nursing Homes/Residential Care Centres
The Incubator Project is a simple 4-week process. An incubator will be delivered to the school/nursing home with seven fertile eggs which were laid by hens on our farm, and we will supply a short educational talk through the use of a video about the development and life cycle of a chicken and the hatching process that you can play in your premises.
We will come out to check the eggs and make sure everything is okay during the incubation process, and will be on call 24/7. It is a great chance to learn about the life cycle of chickens and take ownership over the eggs and chicks once they have hatched.
