The chicks for direct autumn release are hatched and raised for a month at ICF’s new isolation-rearing facility in Wisconsin. DAR chicks are under the care of chick-rearing specialist Marianne Wellington and other experts. Hidden in white costumes, they raise the chicks with the help of crane puppets. This is called costume rearing. The chicks are raised in isolation, away from any sights or sounds of humans.
