PROGRESSIVE POULTRY RAISING 



feed and the number of feedings reduced to three daily. 

 Also the chick mash may be replaced by the regular 

 laying mash. 



"Make all changes of feed gradually. If changed 

 suddenly from all chick feed to all scratch feed, the chicks 

 will probably eat very little of the new feed and in con- 

 sequence will receive an undesirable set-back in growth." 



The feeding formulas which have been used by the 

 Storrs Agricultural Experiment Station for several years 

 are as follows : 



CHICK FEED 



Cracked Wheat 15 Ibs. 



Fine Cracked Corn 15 Ibs. 



Pinhead Oats 10 Ibs. 



Broken Rice 3 Ibs. 



Fine Charcoal 2 Ibs. 



DRY MASH 



Wheat Bran 20 Ibs. 



Corn Meal i o Ibs. 



Sifted Ground Oats 10 Ibs. 



Low Grade Flour 10 Ibs. 



Beef or Fish Scrap 10 Ibs. 



At six weeks of age the chick feed was gradually replaced 

 by scratch feed and the chick mash by the regular laying 

 mash. The formula for each of these is given: 



SCRATCH FEED 



Cracked Corn 200 Ibs. 



Wheat 200 Ibs. 



LAYING MASH 



Corn Meal 100 Ibs. 



Wheat Bran i oo Ibs. 



Ground Oats 100 Ibs.
