| Impact Report | Egg to Chick: The 4-H Agent has assisted 68 youth in kindergarten through 3rd grade in completing the Egg to Chick program this spring. The 4-H Agent assisted youth with curriculum instruction, egg candling, and egg hatching. Youth have learned responsibility through the care of the eggs to the care of the chicks after they are hatched. In April 2011, an evaluation was given to 25 students in the Magdalena 3rd grade class asking them to color the face that is the best answer. 25 students colored a happy face stating that the activity was fun; 25 colored a happy face stating that the activity helped them learn about chickens; 25 colored a happy face stating they learned how a baby chick grows; and 25 colored a happy face stating they told their family about this project. The Agent spent a lot of hours this spring researching the problems we have been having with the project. We have had full developed eggs that won’t hatch out for several years now. The Agent worked with a specialist from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension who helped us to regulate our humidity and temperature. I do have to say we had better success this year but some of our same problems still existed. |
