In the 4-H Incubation and Embryology Program, students ranging from kindergarten to high school seniors learn about embryonic development as they care for developing chicken eggs. During the twenty-one day incubation period, students learn not only the scientific facts of embryology; they learn that life involves care, nurturing, struggles, and joy.

Students study embryonic development by incubating eggs, hatching and caring for chicks, and developing exhibits that demonstrate what they have learned.

Fees and Deadlines for Embryology:

4-H and Extension offer Incubation and Embryology as a service to teachers at a fraction of its actual cost. Your participation fee helps to offset program costs and replace materials.
