CCE Broome Educator, Ann Supa, Teaches Embryology and Incubation Lessons
Over the last several weeks, Ann Supa has been visiting Horace Mann Elementary School in Binghamton for embryology and incubation lessons.

The students learned about roosters and hens, how long eggs take to hatch (21 days!), how to determine what color the eggs will be (look at the feathers over the hens ear!), how to tell if an egg has a live embryo or is a "dud", and what chicks need to survive.

The class incubated their own eggs and ended up with over 1 dozen chicks!
