Cheney School – Pupil Premium Project using the Living Eggs Chick Hatching Programme

Duck Eggs

Living Eggs do NOT supply duck eggs for hatching. Sorry! We know they look cute, but there are very good reasons for not supplying them. We cannot source fertile duck eggs from Government accredited hatcheries – therefore we would be unable to guarantee pathogen-free eggs We would be unable to guarantee disease-free ducklings Ducks require…

Living Eggs Experiences in Care Homes

We have received wonderful feedback from Care Homes sharing their Living Eggs Experiences.
