FEEDING BABY CHICKS.
Feeding baby chicks from the time
they are removed from the incubator
until they are at least four weeks old
has a great deal to do with the suc
cess of raising the little fellows.
Many different methods of feeding
have been put forth by different
feeders and they all may be correct,
but common sense is one of the
greatest factors in feeding. No set
rule can be followed exactly. Follow
the instructions of some feeder and
supplement with your own common
sense and experience.
Nature has provided that the baby
chick be supplied with food long
enough to maintain its body until it
is old enough to hunt for food itself.
About half of the entire- yolk of the
egg is absorbed into the body of the
chick before hatching. This is na
ture’s food for the chick. We must
help nature in feeding chicks rather
than retard it. Feeding any foods
to the chicks before this yolk is
digested and used is almost murder
in the first degree. It requires at
least 72 hours for a complete diges
tion of this yolk; consequently, never
feed until about 48 hours after the
last chicks hatch. This Is fairly
safe. ,
When the Sticks are removed
from the incubator to the brooder, a
drink of warm water an,d a few cry
stals of clean, bright chick grit, or
sand ( is satisfactory. Warm butter
milk is also a very good thing to
be given at this time. -,
The first feed may be given as
follows; Take the infertile eggs
that have been removed from the
incubator and boil hard. Crush
one of these with wheat bran —one
egg for every 20 or 25 chicks. Feed
' this five times a day all that the
chicks can clean up in ten minutes.
Keep fresh, clean buttermilk before
the chicks at all times. Bread
erumbs dipped in milk will supple
ment the eggs and milk. Whatever
your method of feeding may be, the
* first feeds should contain grit, char
coal, ground bone meal, or ground
egg shells. Continue to feed five
times a day until the chicks are
about ten days old, then the full
ration can be given them. Dry mash
can then be placed in the hopper
and scratch grain fed twice daily
about ten o’clock in the morning and
five o’clock in the evening. It is a
very good idea to take the mash
from them in the evening about two
o'clock before feeding the scratch
at five. This will make them ready
for the scratch that takes them
through the night
There are a number of good com
mercial starting feeds* and many
poultry growers use them because
of the ease of obtaining them.
Several mighty good starting
mashes can be made as follows:
Starting Food.
Boiled eggs crumbled with wheat
bran. 1 egg for 20 chicks. Bread
crumbs dipped in milk.
Grain Mixture.
10 lbs. Cracked Com. 10 lbs. crack
ed wheat.
Mash Mixture.
10 lbs. Corn Meal; 10 lbs. Wheat
Middlings, or Shorts; 30 lbs. Wheat
Bran.
Buttermilk should be kept before
chicks with this ration. If no butter
milk is available, add to the mash
12 pounds of sifted beef scrap and
one pound of bone meal.
In addition to the above, green
feed, Buch as cut oats, rye, rape,
alfalfa or some clover is essential
to best results. Keep charcoal, grit
and clean water before them at all
times.
