An excellent food for the chicks Is

Mix this with bran and moisten with
water. II you have some old, dry
bread which has not become moldy 1t
may be crumbled and added to the
bran and ground eggs. Do not make
the feed sloppy or the chicks may
gorge themselves.
Many other good feeds, such as fine
cracked corn, cracked wheat, cracked
kafir and steel-cut oats may be fed.
Milk curd and beef scraps make a
good change in the food. These two
supply to the chick about the same
food elements 1t would get by eating
insects and worms.
