Seven PCPS 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classrooms, four 4-H families and the Pulaski County Extension Office successfully hatched 63 chicks of 90 eggs set, a 70% hatch rate. This is great. We had incubators in classrooms, homes, with kiddos, nonetheless, and we are very thankful, unlike last year’s great moving of incubators to teachers’ houses and the Extension Office when schools suddenly closed. So today our 2021 chickees graduate from their brooder totes and will be headed to E & E Eggs, Riner, Virginia, owned and operated by Emily and Erin, Pulaski County 4-H'ers and young entrepreneurs. Emily and Erin have been raising laying hens for many years, each year adding a new 4-H flock to their layers. Follow us also on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/PulaskiVAExtension
