Care of Little Chicks.
pri
Quite an argument has been going 4|1(
e rounds as to the length of time uri
at should elapse before giving food
newly hatched chicks, some regardg
twenty-four hours as time enough ^ |
(fore feeding, others that to feed
hen two and a half days old was ..
on enough.
No doubt but that more chicks are ^
lied, or stunted from feeding too j)(>
on, than are hurt by a longer fast,
ate the healthiness of chicks when
hen steals her nest, and is not disvered
until the chicks are several ?
iys old.
Strong, healthy chicks, hatched In
y, warm weather, will require food ^'
oner than puny ones hatched in a 1
imp, cool time, because the first l\1
lcks will grow much faster. Make |"
is an iron clad rule: Never feed 1,1
oner than twenty-four hours after
itching, and let the first feed by dry ar
ead crumbs or oat meal sprinkled (J1
sharp sand. Also let the bulk of <n
e first few meals be of sharp sand. :,~
Give water that has the chill taken 1"
f, for several days after hatching. Wi
lis is not necessary in mid-day of

tie chicks, of a morning, no matter l,:
tiat the month. a?i

A teacup filled with water, then tli
