Year 11 Agriculture

                                               

Year 11 Agriculture incubated eggs from the HKHS chickens (isa browns and polish frizzles) earlier this term and have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of our newest babies. 21 days later, right on schedule, the chicks began hatching!

During this process the students learned how to candle eggs to check for fertility and have studied the developmental process of a chicken embryo. The chicks will continue to be monitored and cared for by the students and will form part of a trial to investigate growth rates.
