For the past several years there
has been a growing tendency among
poultrymen to hatch their chicks
earlier. A few breeders in Cork
uecticut had chicks out in January.
and quite a number of poultrymen
are now breeding late Febrtnry
and early Marci: chicks. In general
early chicks escape a lot 0 troubles
to which later hatches fall heir.
On the other hand it is not all
smooth sailing for chicks that or:
being reared before the snow is gone
and the frost is out or the ground.
Close confinement. hot house condi-
tions. and lack of direct sunlight
frequently means chicks with weak.
wobbly leg-s. Science comes to the
rescue with. the the suggestion that
such chicks be fed. raw codliver oil.
The dose is one percent of the
mash or one pint of the oil to 100
pounds. Don‘t use emulsions. The
essential factor in codllver oil is the
anti-maniac vitamins which is
thought to be largely lost when the
oil is emulsified. Chicks exposed to
direct sunlight. not sunlight fitorcd

Now after the lapse of years. Lloyd
