Abstract
killed, compared to 2.5 when the exhaust device was used. Only 1.2 pheasants were killed when no flushing device was used. We did not encounter enough adult hens during the test to establish differences between methods. A chi-square test did reveal a significant difference (.02 level) in the loss of chicks between the use of the flushing devices and the control, the use of each device resulting in a higher loss of chicks. It is possible that a larger sample of hens would reveal that they react in a different manner toward the noise and movement of the flushing devices. The chicks apparently tended to freeze in response to the extra disturbance of the Ohio bar and the exhaust blast. The exhaust device appeared to be effective in lowering rabbit losses (Table 1); but the number of rabbits flushed was small, and the highly significant results obtained might be misleading.
