4-H Classroom Chicken Embryology

Each year, all public and private schools in Lake County are invited to participate in the Chicken Embryology program.  4-H volunteers deliver pre-incubated eggs to schools to be hatched in classroom incubators.  After two weeks, the volunteers return to collect the chicks, which are then distributed to our 4-H members.  A half-day in-service training is offered free of charge for all participating teachers prior to egg delivery. 

For more information, please email lake4hinfo@purdue.edu or call the 4-H staff at 755-3240.
