Half-inch mesh hardware cloth circular chick guard, an excellent arrange- 

 ment for confining the newly hatched chicks for the first few days. The 

 circle may be enlarged as the chicks get older. A very good substitute is a 

 light wood frame covered with burlap or light cotton cloth. (Courtesy of
