WEANING THE CHICKS 85 



at least twice a day during the summer months. 

 Clean drinking vessels with plenty of fresh water 

 will assist greatly in keeping the flock in the best 

 condition during their growth. 



Spade up some of the soil in the runs and give the 

 chicks a chance to scratch and wallow in it. They 

 will find many things in that freshly spaded soil 

 which cannot be supplied to them in an artificial way. 



Kill the cripples and sickly looking specimens; 

 they will never amount to much and are only in the 

 way of those that are growing and doing nicely.
