The Lancaster County 4-H EGG Cam will feature a candling opportunity live online at 1 p.m. Sept. 28.
Candling, which is conducted by the days the seven and 14 of the egg hatching process, uses a bright light to shine through an egg to check fertility and embryology development.
4-H EGG Cam is part of the Lancaster County 4-H Embryology school enrichment program. Since 2002, 4-H EGG Cam’s live view has given classrooms, families at home and anyone on the internet the opportunity to watch chicks, ducklings, guinea keets and other poultry hatch. Eggs are usually on 4-H EGG Cam January through early fall. They usually hatch chicken eggs, but sometimes other poultry eggs are featured.
All ages will enjoy learning about embryo development in this livestreamed animal science experience.
Learn more about the 4-H EGG Cam on the Lancaster County website. The 4-H program is part of Nebraska Extension.
