Show House for Chicks. A house large enough to accommodate accommo-date 400 chicks until six weks old can' be built for a very small sum, and the labor of providing the filled yard would be paid for in a couple of years by the saving in cost of looking after the chicks where everything is convenient con-venient and properly arranged. When hens are used for brooding a small excavated ex-cavated or filled-in yard may be provided pro-vided at very little cost except labor, and the broods confined in it until out Df danger. This may seem somewhat troublesome, but the poultryman who attempts to raise chicks on the cold, poorly-drained soils that are common In most sections of this country must choose between taking some trouble or losing a lot of chicks. |
