The Kingsley 4-H Club finished the year with a successful hatching of eight baby chicks in our new incubator, the planting of our garden, and participation in a variety of springtime crafts.
The embryology project was the most successful in three years; with eight surviving chickens, the Kingsley 4-Hers were able to fully participate in the project. Club members made houses with curtains, wallpaper and room dividers for the new tenants, who seemed to enjoy the spaces. Club members also made their own chicks to take home.
After taking the chicks back to 4-H headquarters, club members turned their attention to gardening. Over the remaining days of club activities, members prepared the garden beds and planted everything from tomatoes to herbs.
During the summer, Kingsley 4-Hers are looking forward to attending 4-H Camp and participating in the 4-H Fair in partnership with the Fairfax Club at the embryology display. Club members will be participating by helping to staff the exhibit and by providing chicks. The chicks will be hatched at the Kingsley Computer Clubhouse as part of their summer curriculum.
