sections who have not the room nor
the equipment to maintain a breeding

How Chicks Are Shipped
The uniform safety with which
chicks may be shipped is another fac
tor in favor of the development of the
baby chick industry. Baby chicks may
be shipped any distance provided the
destination is reached within thirty
six hours. 1t is not the distance in
miles, so much as the time required
which affects the safety of the chicks.
Baby chicks should not be fed during
the first thirty-six hours. During this
period they should be kept quiet and
allowed to sleep. At the hatcheries
the chicks are packed in boxes ven-
ttlated in such a manner as to provide
comfortable quarters for the chicks,
and unless they are roughly handled
or placed where they will be subject to
draughts or intense heat the chicks
will be perfectly comfortable and
hearty when they reach their destina-
ton.
Most farms guarantee safe arrival
of chicks, and will make good any
which are dead or badly trampled on
arrival at the express office of the
purchaser. The box should be opened
in the presence of the express agent
While the express companies are not
liable for the condition of the chicks,
they are liable for the condition of the
carrier. If it is broken or shows signs
of rough handling, a note of the con-
dition should be made on signing for
the delivery.
Farms are usually very careful
about the chicks they ship, and send
only strong, vigorous ones, for the rea-
son that they guarantee. safe arrival
CHICKS which are not strong will not
survive the journey, in consequence
they will be a source of annoyance
and expense.
