often teaches others about the
importance of including poultry
and eggs in their diets. But, some
times, Sarah is the one who is

Recently, Sarah toured
Longcnecker’s Hatchery. John
Martin, president of the hatchery,
explained the history of the
hatchery.
Before she entered the hatchery,
Sarah pulled on protective boots
and a lab coat to prevent the spread
of disease. She saw white plastic
bins where the chicks ate held until,
they arc ready for delivery. Sarah
watched a machine separate the
shell from the chicks. Later she
saw the area where the chicks arc
debeaked and vaccinated. The
eggs are kept in rooms filled with
incubators that turn every few
hours to keep the yolks from stick

the eggs arc kept in bins until they
are ready to hatch. In all these
units, temperature and humidity
are carefully monitored in order to
prevent disease and other prob
lems.
After the tour, Sarah watched a
