PI-HA SANTS EAT CHAP
The Matanuska Valley end Anchorage
Gun Club shipped in 2500 Pheasant;
eggs and 100 Chuckar eggs to be
hatched at the local hatchery.
Recently 528 b; by Pheasants were
taker, from the incubators, hatched
from the 2500 eggs net. Since
about one third have died due to
the weakened condition when hatcho
Sinco^Pheasants arc extremely
delicate to handle, it is believ
ed. that this was a very good
hatch considering the long dis
tance the eggs were shipped and
the necessary handling required.
From the 100 Chuckar eggs set,
67 beby birds were taken from the
incubator and are'in very good
healthy condition.
The young birds arc boir»g brooded
at the local hatchery until such
tine as they will be old enough
to taico out on the farm where
they will again bo cared for un
til they arc old cnoung to turn
loose.
At the present tine Mrs.knx Shcrro
is erring for the baby Pheasants
spending hours ovory day, taking
first class care of their brood
ing. The water fountains arc
washed daily with disinfectant
and the cages are kept clean in
the 3nine way.
A groa.t deal of tir.10 and expense
has gone into the hatching and
brooding of these birds and more
time and care will be required
before they will bo able to care
for then selves. These things
should bo considered and every
precaution should bo taken for
their protection. The purpose
of obtaining those birds , is
to raise enough so that in time
they v/ill be plentiful in the
Valley. It is thought they
will live through tlic winter on
what feed they can find in the
grain fields. They will be a
benefit in many ways to the farm
ers cf the valley, ’ hor . birls
will help to keep down insects
and may go a long way toward
cutworm control in this vicinity.
At least, it is worth the try
and every citizen shot Id assume,
protective responsibility.
