Washington County Educator Workshop: Chicken Embryology

Join us for this special workshop collaboration with Washington County 4-H! During this workshop, 4-H ambassadors and their mentor* will lead us through lecture-style demonstrations on all things chicken! Presentation topics include:

• Embryology
• Nutrition needs
• Breed selection and differences
• How to successfully use an egg incubator in your classroom to teach about chicken embryology.

*Content verification and guidance provided by Kristen Moore, Washington County 4-H mentor.

Teachers who reserve an egg incubator for the spring will be able to pick up their reservation during the workshop.  Reserve an AITC incubator here, or indicate in the registration form below if you would like to rent one from 4-H. Supplies are limited from both offices. There will also be a limited supply available of hatching chicken eggs sourced from a local farm!

This workshop is a special opportunity for educators to learn about chicken embryology, all while supporting 4-H ambassadors as they practice their public speaking and teaching skills.

Registration is required. Please use the form below to register.

*Due to budgetary constraints, this educator workshop is exclusive to Washington County educators (public, private, homeschool, online, etc.), and others directly associated with 4-H activities. Please reach out to Anita Spaeth if you are uncertain if you qualify to register: anita.spaeth@oregonstate.edu
