In cooperation with the United Council of Church Women, the 75% of your Success Depends upon Pullets Well Beared Many poultrymen are falling down on the way they rear their pullets. Pullets should be started in a house that has been scrupulously cleaned well in advance, disinfected and al lowed to dry out before the litter is put in The house should be ready for the chicks several days in advance Chicks need one sq ft floor space per chick for the the first 8 weeks and 2 sq ft floor space per pullet from 8 weeks until they start to comb up if they ’re to be raised. Allow some fresh air but do not let the chicks get so cold that they pile up or huddle Cold chicks won’t eat and drink properly. The average electric brooder will take care ot a maximum of 250 chicks Same goes for gas and oil brooders Perhaps -300 chicks could be put around a coal stove So far as I know, there is no such thing as a 500 or 1000 chick size brooder that will do a good job on chicks up to 8 weeks of age This is in spite of what the manufacturer says about them Babcock’s 1957 literature tells you how to rear your chicks and how to feed your layers Also it describes Bab cock Bessies - America’s Really Fine Commercial Egg Pro ducers.
