Incubation and Embryology Project

Welcome to the Westchester County 4-H Incubation and Embryology Project. Last spring, 2008, we hatched about 500 ducklings and 1,100 chicks in classrooms all over our county, in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan, too.

Fertile eggs will be available by pre-order in mid-to-late April, 2009.

The Incubation and Embryology Project is interdisciplinary and offers classroom teachers the opportunity to satisfy science, math and ELA core requirements. "Learning to learn" is basic to this project.

Call the office at 914-285-4620 to request an information/order packet.

"How To" Workshops will be scheduled.
