Yowell Elementary had a special visit from Culpeper 4H today! 🐥 Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Kilby gave an egg-cellent demonstration on egg candling, showing students how to see inside developing eggs. They also introduced us to two feathered friends, Sweet Pea and Sweetie Pie, who the students loved meeting and petting! 🐓 During the visit, we learned about herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores, and the students asked some fantastic questions—like what chickens eat, how incubator eggs differ from store-bought ones, and where the Yowell chicks will stay during spring break. A big thank you to Culpeper 4H for an egg-citing and educational experience! 🥚🐣🐓
