Another batch of emus hatched

Students in teacher Jeff Kirmse’s biological sciences class at Ozaukee Middle School in Fredonia have successfully hatched emu chicks for the 17th year in a row. Pictured above with their new brood are (front row, from left) Melissa Parisey, Katelyn Michael, Natalia Marini, (back row) Todd Bell, Alyssa Urness, Nickolas Skorbier and Dylan Budzisz. The emu eggs are donated by Mike Hilblink of Hilblink farms in Adell, incubated for 50 days and returned a short time later to the farm. Photo by Sam Arendt
