Cost of Raising Chicks 
l have about 70 chickens, White 
Wyandottes, batched April 10. I have 
cared for and fed them quite carefully, 
and they are n nice bunch. I have kept 
no account with them so far. Can you 
help me ru estimate the cost ou. say, 
July I f l have given them skim-milk iu 
very liberal quantities from start, grain 
and growing mash for last few weeks. I 
think they will average 2 lbs. in weight. 
Madison, Conn. f. c. d. 
No definite figures as to the cost of 
raising these chickens can be given, of 
course, but perhaps the following data 
with regard to the raising of pullets of 
the same general type (White Plymouth 
Hocks') will help you to make a fair esti¬ 
mate. Figures kept at the Indiana Ex¬ 
periment Station in 1916 and 1917 to 
determine the cost of raising White Ply¬ 
mouth Rocks showed that in those years 
it took from l.s t,, fi.6 )b,s. of grain anil 
6.5 to S.5 lbs. of skim milk to produce a 
—ylb. broiler in from nine to ID weeks. 
The cost of the food at that time was 
12 cents and Ihe total cost of raising the 
2-lb. broiler was 24 to 29 cents. This 
latter cost included cost of eggs, hatching, 
etc. If you know the original cost of 
your chicks and the cost of (he food and 
skim-milk given, you can easily arrive at 
a fair estimate of the total cost to you 
of these White Wyandottes. m. b. d.
