Kentucky-specific embryology curriculum
Kentucky-specific curriculum has been developed for Embryology in the classroom. There are 12 lessons. Some are designed for the start of the program (e.g., Lessons 1 and 2) and the hatch (e.g., Lesson 12). The other lessons can be used throughout the 21-day incubation for the hatching of the chicks
