CHICKS REARED IN BRooDERS
No System Ideal for All Conditions
Success Depends on Indi-
ViduaI Handling
prepared by the United States Depart-
#

/ prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture3
More difference Of opinion exists Is
TO the value OF brooding systems than
In any other part OF poultry rearing,
which shows that no system is ideal
for all conditions, but that success de-
ponds largely on individual handling
and care. Many failures In brooding
are due to weak chicks which may be
traced to faulty incubation or weak
ness in breeding stock. Successful
chick raising depends primarily upon
having healthy, vigorous breeding
stock.
Some Of the most important faults
in the management of breeders are
OvercrOwding and lack of ventilation
while the chicks fail TO get sufficient
exercise. The brOoder should supply
the proper temperature, be readily
adapted to change in weather condi-
tons, be easy to clean and well ven
tilated. The capacity should not be
Overestimated. One-half TO twO-thirds
Of the number of chickens commonly
advised viii do much better than a
larger number. Breeders and hovers
should have from one-half to TWO
inches of sand, dry dirt, cut clover
or chaff spread over the floor, and in
case they are kept in the broOder
house, over the floor of this also The
hOvers should be cleaned frequently,
as cleanliness is essential in raising
chickens successfully.
1t is impossible to state for each
case at what temperature the breeders
should be kept to raise young chick
ems; however, it will run from 90 up
to 100 degrees in some cases, as some
brOodS of chickens seem to require
more heat than others, an average be
ing 90 to 90 degrees for the first week
or ten days, when the temperature is
gradually reduced to 50 degrees for the
following ten days, and then lowered
to 20 or 70 degrees for as long as the
chickens need heat. This depends
somewhat on the season of the year
and the number of the chickens, as it
can be readily seen that the heat gen
Grated by 30 chickens would raise the
temperature under the hover to
higher degree than the heat given off
by a lesser number, consequently the
amount of heat furnished by the lamp
or stove will have to be regulated ac-
cOrdingly. AS the chickens grow
larger and need less heat the lamps
may be used only at night, and later
only on cold nights. The heat is usually
