Many poultry men are falling down on the way they rear their pullets ' Pullets should be started in a house that has been fccrupulously cleaned well in advance, disinfected and allowed 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 first 8 weeks and 2 sq ft floor space per pullet from 8 weeks until they start to comb up if they’re to l/e raised inside 1 Allow some fresh air but do not let the chicks get so cold they pile up or huddle. Cold chicks won’t eat and drink properly. | The average electric brooder will take care of 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 t good job on chicks up to 8 weeks of age This is in spite of \ hat the manufacturer says about them Babcock’s 48-page catalog literature tells you how to rear sour chicks and how to feed your layers.

D. #1 Milford, New Jersey Phone Milford 4-4909 No Off Flavor Noted 1 From Fat-Fed Chickens I ' Poultrymen who add fat to poultry rations to get faster and more economical gams need not worry about the meat of fat-fed chickens having an off-flavor taste, according to tests made at the University of Wisconsin. In the test, one group of White Rock chicks were given a diet with 26 per cent added fat, while another'group of chicks got a similar died without fat. The cooked meat of these chicks was treated by a panel of taste testers and they could de tect no difference at all in the taste of the ihickens on the two diets. In fact, the fat-fed birds were rated slightly higher in one taste test. dian Rivers and Indian River Whites, 9-3, Colege Hill, 18% cents. 20.
