Chick Incubation
Author: Stephen Conrad
Planning Unit: Boone County CES
Major Program: Agriculture
Plan of Work: 4-H Agriculture
Outcome: Initial Outcome
To assist teachers with their Lifecycle lessons, and to bring a little “normalcy” to the school students, the Boone County Extension Service placed incubators at 6 schools for chick incubation. We placed a total of 17 incubators and 17 dozen fertilized eggs at six of our schools. A total of 665 students, ranging from kindergarten to sixth 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 94% of the students learned for the first time about the needs of and caring for baby chicks.
