96 MY POULTRY DAY BY DAY 
In addition to this, from the second week onwards the birds 
should receive a small quantity of animal food, such as beef scrap, 
fish meal, or bullock’s liver. The chickens should be given all 
they ean eat up very quickly once a day—say at twelve noon. 
About the end of the fourth week, if the weather is favourable, 
the chickens may be transferred from the heated brooder to fireless 
brooders. 
About the sixth week dry mash, as already described, can be sub- 
stituted for the dry bran, and kept constantly before them, the 
grain being fed among the litter twice or three times per day.
