Loss of Baby Chicks Costly to Poultrymen Clemson College, Feb. 10.?The high death rate of baby chicks is one of the greatest losses in the poultry business, declares C. L. Morgan chief of the poultry division, who says that the care and management of' mature stock is relatively easy compared with the baby chicks. "Assuming the chicks are strong and healthy, the first factor in their care is that of ItemporatureV:-continues Mr. Morgan. "The normal temperature of the chicks is approximately 106 degrees Fahrenheit. For the first few days of the chick's life a large part of this heat must be supplied by artificial means' The brooder should maintain a temperature of approximately 95 degrees F. at the outer rim of the canopy, tw<> inches from the floor, for the first week. The house should be well ventilated but free from drafts. As the chicks develop, less artificial heat will be needed. The brooder temperature can be reduced about 5 degrees each week until heat is no longer needed. With the experienced poultryimen a thermometer is unnecessary as the comfort of the chicks is the best guide to fallow. Both overheating and chilling must be avoided in brooding. ' "The second important factor is proper feeding and there are many methods of feeding chicks. In large broods the all-mash Teed Was several advantages, pt-ovidtegHtl# property balanced. In any ration for baby chicks milk should supply a considerable portion of the protein. Where liquid milk is available on the farm this may be used with a proper combination of other feeds. All feeding should be done in clean troughs or containers. Chicks should not be starved for long periods. Feeding should begin within 48 hours. "In handling baby chicks sanitation must be practiced at all times. Chicks kept in clean comfortable, well ventilated houses, on a clean range, supplied with well balanced feed and clean water are most likely to return a profit to the poultryman."
