Students participate in Egg to Chick program

Jun. 7—Over the past several weeks, James L. Collins Catholic School has partnered with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service through the Egg to Chick program. Students patiently waited for their eggs to hatch while learning about the life cycle of a chicken.

It typically takes 21 to 25 days for the eggs to hatch and the students loved checking the incubators everyday to see if there had been any progress. Each class had a different outcome on the number of eggs that hatched, but once they did there was no shortage of snuggles for the baby chicks with students.
