In an apparatus for raising chickens from hatchlings including a barn having a floor and walls there is provided a plurality of rows of feed stations arranged at spaced positions across the floor each with a feed supply line connected along the row for dispensing feed to each of the feed stations and a plurality of rows of water supply stations each with a water supply line connected along the row for dispensing water to each of the water supply stations where rows of stations are connected to a lift system for raising the stations from the floor. A first strip of biodegradable paper sheet is unrolled along the floor of the barn underneath the row of feed stations and a second strip of biodegradable paper sheet unrolled along the floor of the barn underneath the row of water supply stations where the biodegradable paper is colored with a color selected to be attractive to hatchlings, typically red.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for raising chickens from hatchlings to a larger size comprising:\n in a barn having a floor and walls for containing the hatchlings mounting a row of feed stations arranged at spaced positions across the floor with a feed supply line connected along the row for dispensing feed to each of the feed stations and a row of water supply stations arranged at spaced positions across the floor with a water supply line connected along the row for dispensing water to each of the water supply stations, laying a plurality of parallel strips of biodegradable paper sheet material unrolled along the floor of the barn; applying to each of the plurality of parallel strips of biodegradable paper a covering layer of feed material which is spread evenly across the sheet close to the edges so that there are no bare patches on the strip and so that the surface of the strip is hidden by the layer; wherein each of the plurality of parallel strips of biodegradable paper is colored red on at least an upper surface.
