Walworth County 4-H

05/16/2026

Chicks are sweet, but ducklings...they will melt your heart. 🥰 Six Walworth County classrooms hatched a combined total of 51 ducklings this week as participants in the "Eggsploring Incubation 4-H Science Lab" program. Today, the babies went
"home" with 4-Hers to grow up as project animals. CONGRATS to all of our participating classrooms at First Lutheran School, Turtle Creek School, Central Denison School, Lincoln School, and Options Virtual Charter School on a super successful 2026 hatch! 🥚🦆🎉🍀

THIS little guy. 🫠😍 Classrooms participating in our "Eggsploring Incubation 4-H Science Lab" program successfully hatched 162 chicks this week. Most are headed home with 4-H families to grow up as project birds. Fourteen classrooms in 11 schools were part of this year's learning and fun. 🐥🍀🎉 #

It's been a very exciting week so far in the 14 classrooms hatching chicks as part of our "Eggsploring Incubation 4-H Science Lab" program. Watch the triumphant moment when one of our office babies FINALLY escaped from his egg. It was very hard work. 🍀🥚🐣🐥🎉

Just look at this good-looking crew of bread makers! I caught up with these Elkhorn & Springfield 4-H Club 5th graders while making cinnamon bread and learning about food science with the West Side School 5th graders earlier this week. Their classes did SUCH A GREAT JOB!

Did you know that cinnamon is made from the bark of the cinnamon tree? Are you a bark eater like we are? 🙃🍀

We are a little over 6 weeks out from the pipping and peeping of chicks and ducklings in classrooms county-wide. Incubation equipment is on its way to the 21 classrooms registered for the Eggsploring Incubation 4-H Science Lab. Happy hatching to all involved! 🍀🥚🐥🐣🎉
