BABY CHICK TROUBLES
HINTS FOR PREVENTION

chick troubles come every year during
tire brooding season and hints along
these lines wi,'! ten' 1 dto ward off a
{good many, thinks N. R. Merhoff, Ex
i tension Poultry Husbandman, who
; makes these suggestion.
Have plenty of heat under the
brooder. Have the tire regulated be
fore the chicks are put under the
J brooder. A temperature of about 100
i degrees should be maintnined for a
J few days. When eh’cks become cold
j they will crowd together, and wa
1 roust avo d this condition. A-iso the
i room about the brooder should be
j large enougn so that the chicks can
.move away from the heat If it gets
too warm.
