Breaking News!!!

In case you can't hear the excitement around the county let me go ahead and tell you what all the cheeping is about.  The eggs in second and third grade classrooms are hatching this week as part of our 4-H Embryology program.  More than 20 classrooms are equipp
ed with incubators and fun hands on experiments to do with the students in their classrooms as they learn about life cycles.
We also have an incubator at the 4-H office today 8 chicks were hatched and we have high hopes for our other 4 eggs.  There have been lots of questions about the process of hatching chicks and how long it takes.  We posted some of the questions on our Twitter page as well as the Robeson County Extension Facebook page.
We will have a second round of embryology going on in 15 classrooms in the county starting April 15.  Stay tuned for more late breaking news concerning our hatching project.
