Kiwi are NZ's National Icon.

Kiwi Encounter at Rainbow Springs is NZ's BIGGEST hatch and raise facility for kiwi. Our SMALLEST ever kiwi chick is about to hatch here!

Here is your chance to do your bit to help us, and this tiny kiwi out!

This egg is from the Whirinaki region and is a NZ Brown Kiwi. We hope that this kiwi chick will arrive safely in the next 4-5 days.

Our succesful bidder will get to name this very special kiwi chick and get their photo taken with the bird.

A sponsorship pack about the bird will also be included, along with a few surpises from the team here at Kiwi Encounter!

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS AUCTION WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE NATIONAL KIWI TRUST!

Photos are of the egg next to its "normal sized" sibling egg. Photos of the chick will follow on its arrival!

Check out the link on you-tube also. You will see the little egg moving! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRQUCO2QCs4

More Photos to come later today. BABY hatched safely today 4.1.14 and weighed a tiny 173.5g!
