DESCRIPTION
This 1930s film documents the operations of Michigan's State Game Farm in Mason, highlighting its efforts in raising and propagating various bird species for restocking, migration studies, and conservation. It features pheasants, mallards, pintails, black ducks, wood ducks, and Hungarian partridges, showing their life stages and care—from egg incubation to feeding, raising, and eventual release into the wild. The farm employs meticulous methods such as feeding chicks a specialized diet and protecting them from lice. The film underscores the farm's commitment to maintaining bird populations for hunting, conservation, and ecological balance.
