• Incubators are checked out on a first come, first serve basis.  It is highly recommended you reserve your incubators well in advance.
• We highly encourage at least 12 students will be involved in the incubation process. If you have questions on whether or not you qualify, please call the office at 541-737-1318.
• Incubators can be checked out for five weeks.  This check out time frame is intended for chicken eggs; if you plan on hatching a different species, please let us know so we can adjust the time accordingly. Be sure to have ordered eggs ahead of time.  Also the incubators need 24 hours of lead running time, before the eggs can be placed in them.
• AITC does not supply eggs for incubation.  Fertile eggs may be purchased from farm supply stores or online.
  • Suggestions for Where to Buy Fertilized Eggs
• Cleaning Cost: A fee of $25 will be charged if the unit is returned dirty.  AITC expects the unit to be returned as clean as it was shipped to you.
• Late Fee: A fee of $25 will be charged if the unit is not returned on time.  These units are in high demand and AITC has limited resources to meet requests.  Therefore, cooperation in returning materials in a timely manner is extremely important.
