Which Came First?

In our case the egg always comes first when we start a round of 4-H embryology in the schools. Today we gave out more than 30 dozen eggs as part of round two of this incredible hands-on school enrichment curriculum. This time we have incubators at Deep Branch, East Robeson, Flora McDonald, Janie C. Hargrave, Long Branch, Magnolia, Parkton, Rowland Norment, and St. Paul’s Elementary Schools. We also have a special addition to this round of embryology. Thanks to one of our 4-H member’s parents, we were given pink and blue eggs (the chickens lay eggs this color-they were not left over from Easter). So in the incubator at our office, and at a couple of the schools we have some different chickens hatching. I am getting a lot of questions wondering if the chicks that come out of the eggs will be pink or blue. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Feel free to come by and check out our eggs. We are expecting the eggs to hatch the week of May 2. You can always get updates right here on our 4-H blog and we will let you know how it is going at the schools, as we receive updates as well.
