large enough to fly over the temporary fence 
the fence can be removed and the chicks 
allowed to run at large. After the chicks

all of their feed hoppers and milk dishes 
should be placed outdoors, and every induce- 
ment made to get the chicks out and keep 
them out. If this is done the chicks will be 
hardy and will never become so-called hot- 
house chickens.
