Just when we thought things couldn't get any cuter at Heaton Place... little Scout proved us wrong! Scout stopped by today to meet our baby chicks, and we can't get over how adorable these two are together. They even almost match!

All four babies have hatched and are puffy little balls of sunshine. We have Edith, Kate, Bree, and Trudy. We get to keep these littles for one more week and then the farmer who dropped them off as eggs will come and pick them up. They will be adopted as backyard laying hens! Rent The Chicken

Edith has arrived!!! Hatching is exhausting work and napping every ten seconds is a must.

Oh my goodness, we are all so excited! We candled our very first egg today! What a miracle is growing inside. Staff and residents were absolutely gobsmacked to see the development and movement inside this tiny 8-day-old egg.

We will be candling the eggs again on Friday, May 29 at 3:00 p.m., and the community is welcome to stop by and witness the magic happening here at Heaton Place (3093 Wright Street 250-546-3353)!

Our “Hatch the Chicken” program is officially underway!

Homestead Mollie made the trip from Pritchard to deliver the incubator, equipment, and seven fertilized eggs. The eggs are now safely tucked into the incubator, where they will stay for the next 21 days as we wait for our chicks to hatch!

Throughout the process, residents will be candling the eggs to watch the chicks develop and grow. Once they hatch, the chicks will spend two weeks with us before returning home with Homestead Mollie.

The public is also welcome to stop by and visit our informational display table between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. daily to follow along with the chicks’ development and learn more about the hatching process (3093 Wright Street, 250-546-3353).

Be sure to check back often for updates on our exciting hatching journey!
