Spring is on its way and that means new life! It only takes 21 days for a chicken egg to hatch. 4-H'ers will fast-forward through those three weeks of time in one night as they observe first-hand the stages of chick development. They will candle eggs in various stages of development and see how quickly they go from fertilized egg to chick. If all goes as planned, they’ll also see how chicks cleverly “zip” out of their shells. Members will also learn the basics of raising healthy chicks, from the materials they’ll need to housing and care.

4-H'ers will fast-forward through three weeks of incubation & chick development.
