It's time to starting planning for the 2023 "Chick it Out" program! We will run this year's embryology program from April 4-28. For those of you who are new to CIO, University of Illinois Extension, 4-H McLean County, and McLean County Ag in the Classroom offer an opportunity for teachers to utilize our resources to teach an embryology unit in the classroom. This program is a long-standing tradition that successfully promotes agriculture in McLean County schools.

Important Reminders:

• This year, Chick it Out will be for youth in classrooms that are public, private, or homeschool. 
• Please pay attention to the dates in this registration; once registration is closed you will be unable to participate in the program.
• Verify your email address is correct when you register.
• A separate registration is required for EACH classroom participating in the Chick it Out program. 
• Professional Development is included but you must register separately from the program.

What's Included: When you register for Chick it Out, you will get the research-based embryology curriculum, 1 dozen fertilized chicken eggs, and enough chicken feed to last the few days you have your chicks after they hatch. Also available for check out are: incubators, egg turners, candlers, and a variety of embryology curriculum. This registration also gets you access to embryology resources to keep you informed and help you throughout your unit.
