History has hatched in Powell as a commercial operation succeeds in the first steps of giving greater sage grouse a much-needed boost throughout Wyoming.
Seven wild sage grouse eggs have hatched into seven captive chicks at Diamond Wings Upland Game Birds. According to the Powell Tribune, it’s the first time a commercial operation has successfully hatched sage grouse and the first time in the U.S.
Karl Bear, the manager of Diamond Wings, says their efforts have faced much scrutiny. But now, they have achieved a milestone that has eluded scientists and conservationists.
Diamond Wings Upland Game Birds established itself breeding hard-to-raise species like chukars, pheasants, and Hungarian partridges. They received permission to raise sage grouse from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in January 2020.
