Due to an unforeseen circumstance, the first group of eggs placed in the incubator at Foster Public Library will no longer be able to hatch. But our second batch is right on target!

We are expecting all remaining eggs to hatch around March 8th to March 10th. You can visit the Foster Public Library any time during library hours to watch them hatch. We will also put out notices on our social media to let you know when it’s happening!

If you want to check in on the progress of the eggs, come to one of our candling events!

After the chicks hatch, we will keep them in the Foster Public Library for a week, so you can visit and hold them before they head off to their new home.

*NOTE: This event is cancelled due to the winter storm on February 28th. Stay safe! We will be back with another Bring Your Thing day in March.*
