Show FEED IS IMPORTANT FACTOR After Lapse of First Thlrty-elght Hours Give Chicks Fine Grit, Charcoal and Boiled Eggs. Feeding is an important factor in the successful raising of chicks. For the first 36 hours the newly hatched need no feed at all, as the yolk of the egg is absorbed, furnishing them with sufficient nourishment. After this period has elapsed give them a supply of fine grit and charcoal, char-coal, and if possible feed them somo hard boiled eggs. The infertile eggs from the incubator incu-bator may be used for this purpose. Then feed them some good commercial commer-cial chick food, or if this is not easily obtainable, give them a mixture of steel cut oatmeal, millet seed and fine cracked corn. |
