keep both water and milk before the chicks at all times.
 Do not buy eggs promiscuously and expect a good hatch. It's ninety nine times out of one hundred that you will be disappointed if you do this.
 Do not expect vigorous, husky growing chicks if you attend to them irregularly. Baby chicks are babies and there is no use expecting them to do well, if you treat them as stones or hornets. In other words, do not go off a half day and expect your baby chicks to be as they were when you left them. They cannot take care of themselves, neither can you ex- pect to get eggs, that chicks will not die in the shell, from stock that has been mistreated, or stunted in their baby days. The price of success with poultry comes high, just as it does with everything worth while. Unless willing to pay this price, success will never come your way, bringing a lot of strong chickens either from incu- bators, or setting hens
