For chicks from one day to six weeks
old mix four parts cracked oats. one
of .ine cracked wheat. two of rolled
oats. one-half OF millet seeds. one-half
Of broken rice and two of fine scraps.
For the first two weeks we added
one pint OF millet seed. leaving out
scraps during the first week. Boiled
eggs, three for each fifty chicks. were
also fed.
After six weeks and up to ten weeks
feed the following mixture: Mix four
parts cracked corn. two Of fine crack.
ed corn. one of rolled oats. one.half Of
miilet, one-half Of broken rice. one of
grit and two of scraps
For chicks kept In the colony system
give for grain three parts wheat and
four of cracked corn. Also give the
following mash three times week and
daily after ten weeks: Mix one part
ground corn one part ground oats and
one of brown shorts.
To feed the meat scraps we made the
seed feed into q mash with boiling wa.
ter. mixed the scraps with 1t and
covered the mash until II was well
steamed. This mash seems to hasten
the growth of the chicks. While II
seemed necessary to feed the young.
