The following facts were found:
The youngsters relished the wet
mash feed better than the dry feed.
The chicks seemed to require both
cracked and ground food, and they
craved variety of all feeds.
The chicks fed wet mash were the
largest and plumpest, but those on the
variety ration were the most active.
These latter had no mortality up to
six weeks. Next to these the lowest
in mortality was the wet-mash flock.
Chicks reared on skinned milk
mash made most rapid growth for
the first three weeks. The chicks
reared on powdered-milk mash made
the greatest growth in six weeks.
Chicks having the variety ration
made, during the fifth week, the great
est weekly gain of the experiment.
Chicks having the wet mash and the
variety rations made better growth
than those having dry mash or
cracked grain
Chicks having dry mash made the
least gain in weight per chick, at
greatest cost per pound.
The wet mash and the variety ra-
ton fiocks ate less per pound weight.
