We made a field trip to the
Marion Hatchery to receive our eggs.
They are green eggs. They gave us a total of 1055 eggs.
After we sorted and counted them this morning, 567 were bad
and 488 were good. We have already disposed of the bad eggs.
The field trip was good, lots of pictures. We are giving a
presentation to the school board today about our project.
