INFO ON THE
Availability of eggs
Not all eggs are available year-round. Select a drop-down menu below to see the availability of various poultry.
Chicken Hatching Eggs
Available: Spring and Summer
Chickens lay 150-300 eggs per year depending on breed. At Pips Farm we are working with several breeds, as well as our internal breeding program.
Due to outdoor temperatures and the health and welfare of chicks in cold weather, we can only provide hatching eggs during the spring and summer.
Quail Hatching Eggs
Available: Year-round
At Pips Farm we do the majority of our breeding and brooding indoors which allows us to provide hatching eggs year-round. Any eggs hatched can be collected and remain indoors in our brooding stations, allowing them to thrive in a heated and well protected environment.
Turkey Hatching Eggs
Available: Mid-late Spring
Our Ridley Bronze Turkeys lay a limited number of eggs in April and May and then cease laying until the following year. Because of the small number of eggs they produce, availability is naturally limited.
SPONSORING CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
How it works
Fill out our form linked in the button below to provide us with your information and we will contact you regarding availability. The form allows you to select which eggs you would like but nature limits options during dormancy, and sometimes demand also reduces availability.
Please note if you are within the Town of Edson all equipment and accessories are free of charge - including delivery and pickup of eggs and chicks. Participants outside of Edson may be required to provide their own incubator, brooder, heat plate, feed and water dishes, as well as arranging the pickup of eggs and delivery of chicks.
-
Receive eggs, instructions, and full suite of equipment for Edson residents.
-
Hatch eggs within the classroom. Dates of availability are timed so the eggs hatch during weekdays.
-
Transfer chicks into brooder. Full instructions are provided as well as contact with us for questions.
-
Watch the chicks grow and develop for one week, and then return the chicks to Pips Farm.
With support from the Town of Edson
With the support of the Town of Edson we are able to provide all equipment and accessories FREE of charge. You can participate in the School Hatching Program from delivery of eggs to the pickup of chicks with no cost to you or your business.
