Pure Air for Chicks 39 



Just recently a man told me he bought two brooding devices that 

 were sold to accommodate one thousand chicks each, but he said: "I 

 saw chicks that had been brooded in one thousand lots under them 

 and I did not want those chicks, so I will brood three hundred where 

 my neighbor puts 1000." This man's philosophy was sound and his 

 chicks show it. Chicks that are raised in plenty of good pure air 

 will pay their own board bill and their owner's too. So "don't forget" 

 that overcrowding means robbing the chick of the elements of growth, 

 health and even life itself. 



Most people think of overcrowding as stinting space only. If that 

 were all, some way could be found to make up for the lack of space, 

 but as we have shown, it means more than space. A brood of chicks 

 that is robbed of air will dwindle down so as to regulate the question 

 of space themselves.
