Cokadoodledo, Friends!

“Hatching chicks was one of the most rewarding experiences of 2020! I fell in love with the little creatures and my kids learned a lot as well. Dave provides worksheets and we even weighed them and learned about graphing and statistics! I highly Hatch-A-Chick.
Even looking back at videos makes me feel calm and relaxed. I can’t wait to hold another chick soon!”

“David came to setup the incubator in late June and by mid-July we had chicks! The families at the library loved checking the eggs each visit and watching the chicks hatch. We let the public suggest names for the chicks. David ensured that we were well informed and prepared throughout the four weeks.”

“We had the opportunity to be part of his Quality Farms Chicken Hatchery program. We were very impressed with his professionalism, punctuality and knowledge. David came into our daycare at the University of British Columbia, Kelowna Campus to show the children the baby chicks and explain the hatchery experience. The children enjoyed this very much as well as the staff. He was well organized and came with enough information for the staff to be prepared for the chickens.
His communication was clear and he was open to all the questions we had. I found him to be very educated and professional when it came to helping us. David was prompt to email me back and set up a time to come up to our centre.
I believe this is a great way to teach and involve the children and staff. His expertise and ability to explain this process with a large group of 1 ½ – 5 year olds is not an easy task and he did well. I think that this is an incredible learning experience for the children and think this could be used in many different environments with all ages.
I would definitely recommend David to other centers and schools.”

“Our family’s experience hatching chicks has been such a wonderful learning experience for us in many ways. Besides learning first hand how the embryos develop, the life cycle of chickens, and how to care for chicks, we were able to witness the wonder and beauty of seeing six animals being born, which many people do not get to experience!
The whole “Hatch A Chick Educational Program” is so well organized that hatching up to seven chicks in a house was very straightforward. All the equipment and information needed is provided, and David is always a phone call or visit away to answer any questions.
We a very grateful there is educational program like this in our community!”

“David, Thank you for approching me with the idea to have chicks hatch here at Sandlewood Retirement Resort. As as activity coordinator I am constantly looking for new ideas and trying to think outside the box and I feel that this was the best idea ever- our residents were absolutely enthralled and I will repeat this event again. Always a facscination with new life.
Also, this gave us the answer to the age-old question-the egg came first!!!
And these were the words that were spoken by my upper management.
The chicks were in the cardboard box, but thinking- outside the box.
Thank you again David you were great from the beginning of the project to the end I will recommend this to the activity coordinators at our other Regency Resorts.”
