TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP
1 CHICKENS HEALTHY
When the several thousand baby
chicks they have “on order” come
cheeping out to the farms of 112 Farm
Security Administration borrowers in
Peach county who have agreed to do
their bit in the Department of Agri¬
culture’s “food for defense” program,
these folks must be ready to care for
them, supervisor Walker L. Hawes,
says.
' “We Women know who generally
has to do most of the work of chicken
. . „ M Ma , Brown bomo
management supervisor laughed, “So
while we are getting our brooders
made We had better decide how We
are going to keep our hens alive and
• >
Ikying,
j Mrs. Bf'OWn gives some tips on how
k the chicks healthy:
j 1, Some heat will be needed in the
brooder at night, but in the day time
it may be necessary to cut off the
brooder and open all windows and
ventilators.
| 2. Chickens suffer from heat, so try
to keep them cool and comfortable
during 1 the day.
j j 3. Don’t crowd too many chicks in
one house Of range shelter. Crowding
^ j]] retard growth and may start
feather picking.
I 4. If possible, give young stock and
laying hens all the green feed they
will eat. Greens contain vitamins and
minerals.
j , 5. Now that the weather is getting
Warm be OH the lookout for mites Utld
jj ce . They multiply rapidly ill hot
weather.
6. Move range shelters, feeders and
waterers at intervals during tilt? SUm
mer months, SO as to provide fresh
ground where the chickens spend most
of their time.
| 7. Dryness is the Secret of SUCCCSS
in preventing coccidiosis. Don’t allow
damp litter to remain in the house,
and prevent wet spots around the
waterers.
8. Crotolaria seed are poisonous to
chickens, and for some unknown rea
son baby chicks will sometime eat
them.
| 9. Plenty of cool, clean water is
especially important in hot weather,
A barrel waterer is a big time-saver
on the range when running water is
not available.
I 10, Allow at least one inch feeding
space for each chick.
11. One four foot chick feeder,
where the chicks CBM feed from both
sides, Will take care of 100 chicks.
Two one-half gallon fruit jar water
fountains should be provided for 100
chicks,
Some 9000 chicks have been ordered,
or have been received already and
added to the flocks of 112 Farm
Security Administration borrowers in
Peach county this spring through this
.. Food for Defense” campaign, Mr.
Hawes said. Special supplemental
loans are being made to these families
for extra milk cows and brood sows
as well as poultry, he explained. This
is all a part of the general effort to
increase production of those strength
giving foods for which there will be
, such a great need for during the pres¬
ent war emergency.
“These folks are volunteering for
this food production job with the same
kind of wholeheartedness that many
of their sons have shown in volun¬
| teering for actual army service,” Mr.
Hawes said. “Word comes now that,
more than men or guns, England needs
foood. The old folks who stay on the
farm, it seems, this time will have the j
most important job of all to do.”
