🐔✨ Welcome to the Coop! ✨🐔
The ACE Center at Hermitage just got a little louder—and a lot more awesome! Today, we welcomed four chickens as part of a collaborative project between our Horticulture and Veterinary Science programs through FFA.
These feathered friends will be cared for by our students as they gain hands-on experience in animal science, agriculture, and sustainability. 🐣🌿
We’re excited to see how this living lab helps our students grow—and we’re thrilled to introduce our newest members of the ACE family!
📸 Stay tuned for names, updates, and plenty of chicken content. 🐓💚
