A sportsmen's club that I belong to gets day old chicks from the PGC each spring and I was asked to take care of them. I posted about survival rates of chicks several months ago. The chicks did well and grew into good looking birds. I had planned to do a weekly release of birds so members of the club would have something to hunt for during the season. I went down today and saw that the heavy wet snow ripped the netting and the birds were able to get out. Now I have zero birds to release for the rest of the year. I was going to do the largest release on Friday since the following day is the club's youth hunt. Most of the birds flew in the opposite direction of the fields the club owns. Toay just wasn't a good day.
