the bulk of a grain of corn for each chick. If the 

 chicks are confined give finely chopped onion tops 

 or onions. Feed every two hours. 



Third week, give the same food as second week, 

 but increase the quantity of green bone one-half. 

 Feed five times a day. 



Fourth week, still feed five times a day, and to 

 the bill of fare add cooked fresh meat, finely 

 ground, once a day, the quantity for each chick 

 being the bulk of three grains of corn. 



Fifth week, morning food, first day, two parts 

 ground corn, two parts ground oats, one part bran. 

 Mix with just enough water to make it stick 

 together (do not have it sloppy). Use hot water 

 in cold weather. Always allow it to stand fifteen 

 minutes after mixing, to swell. Have the corn and 

 oats ground together, they grind better that way, 

 and make a better mixture. Feed cracked grain 

 the balance of the day, that is at noon, in the 

 middle of the afternoon and about a half-hour 

 before they go to the hover for the night, making 

 four meals a day. Second day : soft feed as above 

 for first feed and at noon. Cracked grain balance 

 of the day. Third day : three meals of same soft 

 food, and cracked grain at last feeding. Same for 

 the balance of the week. 



Sixth week : same soft food at each meal except 

 last one at night, increasing the allowance of 

 chopped, cooked meat. Meat should be given 

 between meals, but never give more than the bulk 

 of a chestnut to each, chick. 



Seventh week and until marketed, same as sixth
