This year marks 50 years of the embryology program in Lancaster County. This means two generations of local students have had the exciting experience of hatching baby chicks in their classrooms. Third graders often tell extension staff visiting their classrooms comments like “we have been waiting for this all year” and “this is the best day of my life.”
Chicks are sorted as part of Lancaster County Extension's embryology program. Chicks hatched in classrooms go to local farms.
