Scrambled Eggs!

     Today as the UPS man delivered our box of Trout eggs, he said I have bad news...the box is wet. Well, hopefully there is a little water left inside was my reply...thankfully there was.  I imagined our eggs being jostled about as they traveled from the hatchery in Belefonte. Apparently this scrambling was a little too much for some of them to tolerate because there were 126 white eggs that did not survive the journey to our tank. I placed 180 healthy eggs in baskets to float on the top of our tank to keep a close eye on their transition from egg to alevin to swim up fry. The students were so excited!
Tomorrow we will place the nonliving eggs on our plants as fertilizer. We made a sign to share our news with the whole school.
