WHITNEY Where only a few chicks are de sired. perhaps the easiest way to laire them Is witii the mother hen.- Nature’s way Is probably the sim plest and the : afest. There is a great difference in mother hens, how ever. Avoid using the restless, nervous type. Select the hen of quiet, even disposition that does not cackle and fuss to an extreme when you approach her. Needless to say, the best mothers come from the heavier breeds, such as the Wyandottes, Rocks, Orpingtons and I’eds. If you are raising a cold-weather brooc then the task Is .mere diffi cult. Th</ hen that can cover fif teen eggs safely In warm weather should not be given more than thir teen eggs In void weather, prefer ably eleven. Until the arrival of the warm spring days, the hen and her brood should be confined In warm, comfortable quarters. Natural Ir.'jubatiun Is Simple. There Is nothing difficult about preparing the hen for a successful hatch. Don’t make the nest too deep. Place a little earth in the bottom to start with and fill In with straw, shaping to the size of the hen’s body. First, however, dis infect ihe nest with a good lice killing liquid and dust the ben with a good lice powder before you set her and again just before the chicks hatch. Also make pro vision for a dust bath. The feeding ration is very plain. Allow her plenty of good scratch feed mid keep grit and fresh water ever present. Test the eggs on the sever.th day and again on the four teenth day, removing any that are infertile or In which the germ is dead. In cold weather it is well to cover the eggs tgith a warm piece of flannel when the hen is oil the lest for her daily feed. What to Do at Hatching Time. When hatching time comes, see that the nest is sufficiently closed to prevent the chicks from falling out. Keep the nest dark and do not disturb unless the hen appears to be nervous. In this event re move the chicks to a warm place until the hatch is completed. This is seldom necessary, however, and should be avoided if possible. Upon completion of the hatch, remove egg shells and allow chicks to remain quietly under the hen for at least twenty-four hours be fore transferring to the brood coop. Brood coops for chicks should be vermin and rain proof. Make them substantial so that they may be stored for another season’s use. Free plans for brood coops may be secured by writing the Pratt Poultry institute, Philadelphia, Pa. These plans enable one to build their own coops at home at the lowest possible cost. How to Care for Outdoor Broods. It Is a good plan to move brood coops frequently to prevent the ground from souring. Close attention should be paid to sanitation. Keep the coops clean by disinfecting fre quently and thoroughly. See that the water fountain and feed hop per are clean and wholesome. Avoid the need to cure disease through use of preventive meas ures. A good white diarrhea rem edy in the drinking water will serve 'to prevent bowel disturb ances. Likewise, when chicks are three or four days old, treat them with a reputable head lice oint ment. These items may be secured from your local poultry supply dealer. A good lice salve should be ap plied to the mother hen. When the chicks are two weeks of age, the lice salve for grown fowls may be applied in place of the milder chick ointment. Shade is very essential in grow ing young chicks in warm weather. It is as bad to have too much sun light as it is to have too little, the latter condition being far more pre ferable in hot weather. If you do not have natural shade, supply artilicial. Allow all the good range pos sible, but confine the hen so that she cannot lead her flock too far from home or into unfavorable places, as has often proven the case when she Is allowed to run free with them. If they are fenced in, however, there is no reason why she should not be permitted the free dom of the yard. Bear in mind that the land chosen for the brood coop and runway should be well drained so that It will not remain flooded after showers. Remember also that brood coops should be so well constructed as to prevent the entrance at night of the various natural enemies of chicks. * \ The Feeding Problem Solved. When possible, give the chicks sour milk In place of drinking water. It is an excellent drink for them and they relish it. Don’t for get that Nature has supplied suf ficient food in the yolk of the egg to last the chick for the first 43 to 72 hours of its life. A good plan is to make the first feeding a mix ture of equal parts sand, sifted ashes and black dirt. It serves as a regulator of the digestive organs. The thicks are then ready for their first real food. The writer strongly advises the use of a good commercial baby chick food. Nothing can make the feeding problem simpler or safer. The only requirement Is to follow directions to the letter. The bal anced ration of high grade Ingre dients will do the rest. Feed spar ingly but frequently at the start. You will be amazed at the steady growth and development that re sults. If yon must take chances apd feed your own homemade mixture, take this writer’s advice and make your experiment with the grown stock. They at least can stand ex perimental work, while the little chicks on the other hand are quick to weaken and die. Your best chick insurance lies in the quality q . of food you buy. This, with a sup ply of chick grit and the addition of fine chick scratch, to be fed aS directed, in order that Sufficient daily exercise may be assured, will satisfy you that modern feeding methods pay. a (Copyrighted. 1924, American Poultry Bureau.)
