Stop by the Children’s Department between 9/10 & 10/15 to follow the hatching of the chicks.
We are hatching again this year. The mini incubator arrives on Tuesday, Sept. 10th along with 7 eggs. During the incubation time we will be able to examine the eggs with a special candling light. Once the eggs hatch they will be placed where we can watch them eat, sleep and grow!
Don’t miss the egg-citment!
