Dr. Arthur A. Allen Raises Ruffed Grouse In Captivity At Cornell
Cornell ornithologist Dr. Arthur A. Allen details his efforts to breed ruffed grouse in captivity, using incubators and heated brooders, tackling diseases like coccidiosis and stomach worms, and testing feeds from sour milk to ground eggs and berries to restore the birds to abundance in the Northeast. The piece notes a two-month-old group thriving with only one loss, ongoing research funding, and the aim of practical large‑scale rearing to aid game populations.
