Hamiltorfs third hour biology class. The students took time out of class the first nine weeks to prepare the cages that the birds would go to as their homes. A small cage was built to put in the biology room for the eggs before they had hatched. The cages weren't done in time to raise the pheasants in the fall and early spring. but quail were raised through the winter. A hen sat on the quail eggs in the cage in the biology room until the eggs had hatched. After the birds were a week old, they were taken to ci larger cage that had been built at Hamiltorfs house in the country. inthe early spring pheasant eggs were also hatched. The students went to the cage once or twice a week and fed the birds. When the birds were fully grown. they lost their homes as the class let them go back to their own way of life.
