What is more exciting than watching a living breathing chick emerge from an egg you have been caring for? 4-H members learned life skills, explored agricultural practices, discovered the incredible egg, and examined the nutritional value of the egg. 

4-H members showed, 91% understood the process of chick incubation and practices, 81% monitored the humidity necessary successful hatching, and 84% learned to candle eggs monitoring their development. The nutritional value of the egg was investigated with 93% of participants understanding the nutritional value of eggs. 

The 4-H Poultry club and programs continue to grow in popularity, this year we have four members showing at the State Fair. Two members will be taking part in the Chicken BBQ Contest because of the Chicken BBQ Camp taught by Dr Jacquie Jacobs. 4-H partnered with local farmers, councils and local schools to provide the opportunities.
