There’s some extra excitement in the Small Animal Science program at the Hewes Educational Center, where a newborn lamb and about a dozen baby chicks are getting plenty of attention! 🐣🐑
For the second year in a row, Career & Technical Education students have experienced the hatching process firsthand under the guidance of instructor Seth Shields and teaching assistant Alexandria Smith. Students observed incubator conditions that support successful hatching, carefully regulated temperature and humidity, and automated egg turning.
Juniors and seniors also got an up-close look at egg candling, where a bright light is used to view a developing embryo inside the egg.
