A. 33. We aim to never keep more than 25 in one yard, 

 and when out in colonies never more than 25. 



A. 34. At about three months. The reason being that 

 the little cockerels gobble up too much feed and the little pullet 

 chicks get the worst of it. 



A. 35. Yes, for the same reason as above, also annoy- 

 ing pullets, and cockerels we notice ought to be fed more libera- 

 ally. If, however, you mean separate cockerels (one to a pen) 

 no. We allow them to run together, as many as possible, usu- 

 ally 25. 



A. 37. Practically the same as breeding stock, making 

 sure of plenty and variety. 



A. 38. When indoors, in clean litter with occasional 



A. 38. Make them scratch for all they get except the

mature and begin to notice the 



A. 33. Fifty. 



A. 34. As cockerels 

 females. 



A. 35. Yes, to make as small lots of them as possible. 

 They will fight less and do better. 



A. 36. I use the small colony coops that I grew the chicks 

 in, as I find that they do better than in the big houses. 



A. 37. Dry mash, corn, wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat 

 and skimmed milk. Grain three times a day.

in pans. When outdoors, we aim to throw a handful 

 of grain imder and around most every tree (fruit trees), and 

 they benefit the trees by their scratching, etc., having 'plenty 

 range. Always feeding liberally, besides mashes in troughs. 

 All feeding usually being but three times daily.
