The agriculture class is selling Isa Brown eggs to any staff who wants some. They are being sold for three dollars a dozen for the remainder of the school year. The money from the eggs will go towards the feed for the chickens. 

“Eventually we’ll most likely sell outside of school once we meet the demands within the school,” Agriculture teacher Robert Richards said. 

Keeping the chickens alive and caring for them is everyone’s responsibility who is in the agriculture class. Groups of three to four students are responsible for checking on the chickens each day. 

“In the beginning we were feeding chickens a feed that didn’t have enough protein in it so they weren’t laying eggs,” senior Jacob Collins said. “Once we figured out this issue, we started giving them oyster shells which is a great source of protein but it also helps strengthen the shells and we also changed their feed so they were getting the protein they needed to lay the eggs. Everyday we check the coop, feed and water the chickens, and collect their eggs. Then we wash and refrigerate the eggs to get them ready to sell.”
