They are fluffy, they are cute, and they are part of the food system. Hamilton County ChickQuest is well underway with the first clutch of chicks finding their new home on Friday, April 23, 2021.
This spring more than 600 eggs were incubated, hatched, and cared for by students across Hamilton County. From the youth in the urban core to those in the far reaches of the county, every teacher shared the same story of wonder and excitement, frustration, and relief.
If you have never hatched an egg, it is not a terribly difficult process if you have the right equipment.

If any lesson can be learned from the interview between the Ohio 4-H True Leaders for Equity and Caracole, it is that scars do not come from knowledge and compassion, they come from its absence.
The interview included in this message showcases two 4-H members interviewing a valuable community partner of Hamilton County 4-H, Caracole.
The video highlights 4-H’s commitment to lifelong learning and it carries with it the message of love and respect that 4-H has for all people.
