About Lovely Hen

Where Learning Comes to Life

Welcome to Lovely Hen, an NPIP-Certified hatchery with more than 10 years of hands-on experience raising and hatching chickens with care.

What began as a love for chickens grew into something much bigger: Hatch a Lovely Chick™, an interactive 28-day STEM learning experience that brings the wonder of chick development directly into classrooms, daycares, libraries, homeschool programs, and family homes.

Children do not simply read about the life cycle of a chicken—they experience it firsthand. They watch real eggs develop, participate in candling, prepare for hatch day, and observe newly hatched chicks during their first days of life.

We Make the Experience Easy

Lovely Hen provides the equipment, fertile eggs, educational guidance, delivery, setup, and pickup. Educators and families can focus on learning and enjoying the experience while we handle the details.

Our programs are designed to be:

  • Educational and engaging

  • Safe and age-appropriate

  • Easy for teachers and families

  • Memorable for children of all ages

  • Connected to real science, agriculture, and nature

More Than a Hatching Program

Lovely Hen also offers a growing selection of farm-fresh products for families, gardeners, chicken keepers, and members of our local community.

Depending on seasonal availability, we offer:

  • Fertile hatching eggs

  • Healthy chicks

  • Fresh herbs

  • Fresh-cut flowers

Whether you are starting your own flock, adding new breeds to your existing flock, or looking for fresh, locally grown herbs and flowers, Lovely Hen is here to serve you with quality products raised and grown with care.

Our Commitment

Every Lovely Hen program and product is guided by the same standards we follow as a certified hatchery: responsible animal care, dependable equipment, cleanliness, safe handling, and respect for every living creature.

We believe children learn best when they are curious, involved, and able to see lessons come to life in front of them. Our goal is to create meaningful learning experiences that encourage compassion, responsibility, patience, and a lifelong appreciation for nature.

Proudly Veteran-Owned

Lovely Hen is proud to be a Veteran-Owned business committed to serving families, educators, chicken keepers, and communities with care, reliability, and purpose.
