IGROWING CHICKS NEED
LOT OF GOOD FOOD
University Test Shows Bird
Weighs 16 Times as Much
At IA Weeks as at
Matching.

Matching.
Growing chicks require an a.
bundance of food which contains
muscle and bone making mate
rial. Other things being equal.
failure to grow can be attributed
to an insufficient food supply, a
lack of muscle making food or
too little mineral matter such as
bone meal.
A chick grows at an enormous
rate. At the University of Mis-
souri, it was found that a chick
weighed at IA weeks just sixteen
times what it did when Matched.
If an infant grew as fast, a baby
weighing seven pounds at birth
would weigh 112 pounds when
IA weeks old. This shows that
chicks should be fed literally
and emphasizes the Importance
of selecting the right food.
Because of the remainder of
the yoke sack being drawn into
the body at Matching, liberal
feeding is not advisable until af-
ter the first week. The chick can
live for nearly a week on the sup
ply Of food it had before hatch
ing. Liberal feeding during this
time would retard the absorption
of this yoke sack and might
cause trouble. When the chick
is AZ hours old a few grains of
sharp, fine sand should be fed.
The sand stimulates the digestive
organs and gets them in work
ing order.
The chicks food should con-
sist of cracked grains such as
corn, wheat and steel-cut oats,
fed in combination with some
ground food like bread crumbs,
corn bread or rolled oats. At
the University of Missouri the
ration for the first week con-
sists of "chick food" fed three
times a day and rolled oats the
other two. Sour milk is also fed.
The acid in the milk is harmful
to some disease germs and the
milk furnishes muscle forming
food. Water with the chill re-
moved is fed in a fountain so
constructed that the chicks can
not get wet. After the first
week a mixture of bran, shorts
and corn meal is substituted for
the rolled oats. When milk is
not fed fifteen pounds of fine
beef scrap and one part of bone
neal should be added to every
100 pounds of the mixture. The
bone meal will prevent leg weak
ness. If the chicks are confined
finely cut green grass, alfalfa
leaves, onions, ETC., will keep
the bowels loose and the chick
healthy.
Gradually the finer grains can
be replaced by coarser. The dry
mash can remain as above. All
the feed can be placed in hop
pers where the chicks may help
themselves. Fine grit should al
ways be available. When the
chicks have passed the danger
point a wet mash daily at about
A p. m. will induce them to eat
more and will result in a more
rapid growth.
Eggs can be fed raw by stir
ring one in some dry feed and
feeding this mixture to about
sixty chicks. At all times the
food must be clean and free
from mustiness or digestive
troubles are sure to result. The
keeping of the quarters clear
and sweet is equally important.
