from the standpoint of health. Pullorum disease, which at one time was a serious problem, has in our Province today been prac- ticallivy eliminated by careful blood testing of our ‘breeding stock. It remains for the pros- pective _chick- customer to de- cide just what type or breed of chicken is best suited to his en- vironment, markets, ete. __ By contacting your local Is- land hatchery manager you can discuss with him the- various _ Strains and breeds which he: has available, and he can help you .-Make.a..choice.. most. suitable to your particular needs. These people are experts and are only too happy to help and assist you with your problem at any time. Brooding is the term applied to the management of the flock during the period that the chicks miist be supplied with’ heat. The length of this “period varies with the time of year and the purpose for which the chicks are being brooded. Successful : ing is a question. of mai- agement and worthwhile results depend larrsely on the ‘'Man"” in management The raising of chicks, im fact, any part of poultry husbandry, is a very detailed business and the caretaker who gives particu- lar attention to all the little de- ‘tails can add much to the sue- cess of the enterprise. In the poultry business,-as in any oth- | er endeavor ‘‘trifles make per- | fection and perfection is no trif- e”’

TYPES OF BROODERS

Remember growing chicks more |

than double their weight every two weeks, so a brooder filled to capacity at the start can be | over- crowded in a very short | _ time.

Feed is approximately 60 per cent of the total cost of raising chickens and every effort should be made to cut wastes to a min- imum. Ample feeding space is also a ‘‘must’’, as this will re- duce the number of cull birds.

Recommended feeding space —up to two weeks of age— one inch per bird. Two to ef ght weeks— two inches per bird and eight to 12 weeks—three to four inches per bird.

Water is one of the cheapest and yet the most needed com- modity for growing birds: Allow two one-gallon founts per 190 chicks until three weeks of age —then double until 12 weeks. or {provide two. feet of continuous tor automatic water trough space per 100 birds, increase water | and feeding space as birds con- |tinue to“zrow and develop. |GRIT Sprinkle fine, hard,. | grit on top of the feed three tim- es per week, Change to growing size grit at approximately six to leight weeks of age.
