 Care Home
This programme is becoming increasingly popular
with Retirement, and Care Homes.
While providing a common interest for all residents and stimulating social interaction, memories come flooding back of the 'good old days' when every family had chickens in their gardens.
Tales of collecting eggs, being chased by cockerels and trading for vegetables with their neighbours are exchanged.
(Some enterprising residents have even held a 'sweep' on the first to hatch.)

What the managers say…
"…the chicks were the centre of attention.
They really generated a feel
good factor around the home… I cannot recall
any activity having this much
impact in any other homes I have been in and
would heartily recommend the
Living Eggs Experience to everyone."
"Residents are also enjoying enjoying
the company of the chicks and it is
agreed it has been a wonderful project. Today
some of the residents had a
very enjoyable afternoon making a collage
of chicks, which will go up
somewhere for everyone to enjoy… We are already
making plans for having
chicks next year."
"Mary (not real name) is a resident with
advanced dementia who spends much of her time
asleep or gazing into space. Speech is rarely
heard. Our eggs arrived with many reservations
from myself as to was this a suitable exercise
for my residents.
Mary sat and gazed into the incubator for
hours… and a new little chick
was born. We looked at Mary and saw expressions,
feelings and happiness. We asked her if she
would like to name the chick… Her name is
Lily, a beaming Mary spoke.
…the birth of Lily made every penny spent
worthwhile.
…for care homes considering something different
this may be the answer…"
