To assist teachers with their Life-cycle lessons, the Boone County Extension Service offers the 4-H Chick Incubation Project. This year The Boone County 4-H Program provided a total of 7 incubators and 7 dozen fertilized eggs to four of our schools.  A total of 125 students, ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade, witnessed the miracle of life when the eggs began hatching. 100% of the teachers reported that the program had positive impact on their ability to teach the life cycle. They also reported that 92% of the students learned for the first time about the needs of and caring for baby chicks.
