POULTRY THAT PAYS 35 
Young chicks do not die on the dry sandy soils of British 
Columbia to the same extent that they do in England. 
But they have more enemies of the predatory type to face 
—namely, skunks, coyotes, weasels, hawks, and others, 
the first-named being the most destructive. Live chicken 
sell from 10 cents to 11 cents per pound, so that a good 
plump bird will fetch from 80 cents to $1.
