Show In the Poultry Yard Shade is essential for all chicks during dur-ing the hot season. Check every nest late at night, so that no eggs will be overlooked. Late chicks need artificial heat but a short time and can be turned out early. Late chicks have to compete with older stock for range and sometimes mash. Direct sunshine is cheap insurance against rickets in young chicks. A lot of chicks ar lost because they do not learn to eat, consequently they starve to death. t'oultrymen say eggs laid In spring keep better In cold storage than those produced in winter. Tape-worms and files frequently come together, and late chicks have a harder time to meet the problem. |
