SPECIALISTS GIVES APRIL SUGGESTIONS FOR RAISING CHICKS ATLANTA, April 16—April is one of the most vital months in the raising of baby chicks, and this week Agent J. F. Hart passes along to flock owners and commercial poultrymen suggestions that he and Arthur Gannon, state extension poultry specialists, have taken from poultry experiments and exper iences of successful poultrymen. The first suggestion is to get the chicks outside just as soon as the weather will permit. Chicks may be turned out during good weather when they are 4 or 5 days old. Slow growth and poor feather ing of chicks are specially notice able during April, and Gannon says the cause is often too high a tem perature in the brooding house. About this time of the year many poultrymen have trouble with their chicks pick fig each other’s toes picking feathers from their fellow chicks, and otherwise turning can nibalistic. That, Gannon says. Is usually caused, by over-crowding and close confinement. He says a good rule is never to brood more than 350 chicks to the lot. If feath more room bv turning them outside or dividing "them into smaller er picking starts gfve the chicks groups. Give them plenty of green feed, and paint the chicks that have ben picked with pine oil. Plenty of dry litter is important in preventing coccidioss, Gannon says. That the Itter by dry is more Important than that it be clean. A deep litter of shavings or peat moss can be stirred a little each day with a rake or fork and It will not be necessary to clean the house so often.
