7. Place guard 2or 3 ft. from edge of hover. Gradually expand it
and remove at end of 1 week.
8.
If roosts are to be used later for hens, provide them for the re
placement chicks at 4 weeks of age. Allow 4 inches roosting
space per chick. If roosts are not to be use<| for hens, do not
them for replacement chicks. Do not use roosts for broilers.
Provide at least 2 inches of suitable litter at the start. Cane
pulp, shavings, sawdust, crushed corn cobs, chopped straw, pea
nut hulls, peat moss, sand and others may be used when free
from injurious materials and reasonably free from dust. If litter
is used for more than one brood of chicks, litter immediately un
der the brooder area should be entirely replaced for each brood.
Remove all caked and damp material, resurface with Vz to 1 inch
of fresh litter. Stir and add fresh litter as needed.
Use all night lights equivalent to 15 watts per 200 sq. ft. of floor
-space. This helps prevent pile-ups.
