Watch Life Beginning!

Mill Cottage Farm Experience are now able to hire out a 3-, 7- or 10-egg incubator, set up by us and left with you for a month. We will provide full advice and support. The chicks should hatch within 21 days and then you will have them for a week to watch their development. After this time we will take them back to Mill Cottage to enjoy life as Show Chicks!
