Brian from Nore Valley Park Pet Farm and Activity Centre Kilkenny arrived today to OLS and spoke to Ms Flannery's Ag science class on how to hatch out the eggs and look after the chicks when they hatch. The girls learned all about eggs, the difference between fertile & infertile eggs, breeding, egg structure and development, importance or humidity and turning the eggs, not to mention how to feed the chicks when they hatch. So they'll be total EGGsperts when the chicks go back to the pet farm!
