Some visitors may have the chance to witness the Kiwi chicks getting a health check, being weighted or fed - the routine usually takes place in the morning; regardless of the time of day you visit the Hatchery, your guides and Kiwi caregivers always aim to give our manuhiri [visitors] the best Kiwi experience!100% of your ticket entry goes straight back to our kiwi hatching programme.
