Birth Announcement


Classrooms all over Robeson County are in labor today as the baby chicks start hatching. This is the final part of our embryology project. We are getting reports in from across the county, Rowland Normant school has one classroom with nine chicks and two more getting ready to hatch. One classroom at Magnolia had four trying to hatch yesterday.
Fairmont Middle is so egg-cited about their embryology after school project that they even linked a web cam to their incubator to let the world check in on their hatching progress. If you click on the link above just give it a few seconds for it to load the image, and see what you can see...feel free to check back often.
Here at the 4-H office we have two out and five more on the way. Stay tuned to the 4-H Embryology network for more news of our hatches.

YEAH!!! I remember "labor day" far to well. We had chicks being "born" one an hour. It was exciting for us. Congratulations to all that have chicks hatching.
Way to go!!!!
