Healthy Chicks Make Great Layers!
75% of Your Success
Depends upon
Pullets Well Reared
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, dis
infected and allowed to dry out before the Utter is put in.
The house should be ready for the chicks several days In
advance. Chicks need one square foot floor space per
chide for the first 8 weeks and 2 square feet floor space
per pullet from 8 weeks until they start to comb up (if
they're to be raised inside.)
Allow some fresh a'x but do not let the chicks get so
cold that they pile up or huddle. Cold chicks won't oat
and drink properly.
The average electric brooder will take care of a maxi
mum of 250 chicks. Same goes for gas and oil brooders.
Perhaps 300 ducks could be put around a coal stove. So
far as T know, there is no such flung as a 500 or 1000
rHfrlr size brooder that will do what the manufacturer
says about them.
Babcock's 48-page catalog I’terature tells you how to
rear your chicks and how to feed your layers. Also it de
