after he has received them. Shipped as soon as 

 they are taken from the incubators, the chicks need 

 no food for two or three days, and that generally 

 allows them ample time to reach their destination; 

 but upon arrival they need careful and prompt 

 attention, so that they will get the right kind of 

 a start. Prices on ready-hatched chicks are usu- 

 ally about twice as much as for eggs for hatching, 

 the most common prices being from fifteen to 

 thirty cents each.
