The Groom AG program took 36 eggs under their watch. The eggs sat in the incubator for 25 days until the lucky four hatched on Saturday the 16th. Since then students have been diligent in care and have taken the pheasants to greet the younger students down in the Elementary halls.
Throughout the embryo stage Mrs. Dayna Britten's science classes would check the temperature and humidity of the incubator each day, as it was a part of their study.
Three pheasants were hatched with no issues, but R2D2, also known as "Peg Leg", had not fully developed and has a non-functioning leg. Despite his unique leg he is a favorite among the students. The Ag students will continue to care for the pheasants well into their summer vacation, until they are old enough to be released.
Unless adopted by a student (with parental permission) R2D2 will also be released to face the consequences of natural selection. The Ag students are raising pheasants for a project, particularly pertaining to the Small-animal management class.
The pheasants remain popular around the school and students are eager to take care of them until they are ready to be released into the hunting grounds.
