****Volunteers needed at the DNR Game Farm****
Consider this your formal invitation to help out at the Game Farm once again this year sexing pheasant chicks. The people that helped out last year did such an excellent job, we decided to offer the opportunity again this year. The chicks you will be handling are either kept at the Game Farm and raised for release on our public hunting grounds in the fall or delivered to conservation clubs participating in the Day-old Chick Program.
Here's what to expect: We meet at 7 am at the Game Farm lunchroom for coffee & doughnuts (provided by Mark Frank). We'll sex chicks in the hatchery until about 10:30 (on a typical hatch day). We'll eat lunch after cleaning up the hatchery. After lunch you will help deliver the chicks to our rearing barns and get a tour of the farm. You should be done by 1 pm.
I pasted our hatch dates below. I would like to get more help on our earlier hatches (April 23 - May 21). Let me know what date(s) you would like to help out. Seating is limited, so it's first come, first served. Thanks for your interest in our pheasant stocking program.
