It is May which means warm weather, some rain showers, flowers, and baby chicks. Yes, it is time again for our 4-H Embryology Program. This year, we had 6 schools participate by hatching out 23 baby chicks. The second graders in Person County really enjoy participating in this program and get a lot out of it. We even had Earl Bradsher Preschool choose to hatch chicks this year. The eggs were dropped off at the beginning of May along with an incubator, egg turner, and candler. The eggs were incubated for about 21 days before hatching. There are a lot of things that can cause issues with eggs hatching. The main concern is the temperature because the incubator has to be 101 degrees. But, we were fairly happy with the numbers of eggs that actually hatched. The 4-H Embryology School Enrichment Program truly provides a fun and hands-on experience to teach them about the animal life cycle and meets standard course of studies objectives.Egg-Citing News!!
