Feeding Young Chicks 
M. B. O. states on page 490 that he 
prefers to mix his own chick food. Will 
that be cheaper than the ready-made, if 
both are to be bought? If home-mixed, 
how much should I mix at one time, and 
how much of each quantity for 600 baby 
chicks? I have a 1.000-size coal brooder 
for them. Will a graveled floor be all 
right for exercise, in addition to the 
brooding coop? Will buttermilk fed in 
galvanized containers form a poison on 
the edges? w. b. 
It all depends upon what you have to 
pay locally for the ingredients. I think 
that you can usually mix your own chick 
feeds for less than you would have to pay 
for an equally good commercial brand. 
You would need but a few pounds of 
scratch grains and of mash for 600 chicks 
to start with. Make up any convenient 
quantity, say 5 lbs. of pinhead oatmeal 
or rolled oats, 10 lbs. cracked wheat and 
15 lbs. finely cracked corn for scratch 
feed, and 10 lbs. wheat bran, 5 lbs. sifted 
ground oats, 5 lbs. cornmeal, 5 lbs. wheat 
middlings and 5 lbs. sifted meat scrap of 
the best grade for dry mash. If you 
have plenty of skim-milk for the chicks, 
cut ont half or two-thirds of the meat 
scrap. With all the skim-milk that they 
will drink, chicks do not really need to 
have meat scrap in the ration. Your 
local miller will have a screen through 
which you can put meat scrap to remove 
the coarser parts, and one which will sift 
out the coarse hulls from ground oats. 
Your 600 chicks will do better in two 
flocks of 300 each, but can be raised in 
one flock. They should get out upon the 
ground by the time that they are two 
weeks old, if even but for an hour or two 
during the warm part of the day. Per¬ 
mitted to go out and in, I mean, not kept 
out. 
If milk of any kind is allowed to accu¬ 
mulate upon the edges of a galvanized, 
or any other, dish, until it decomposes 
(rots), it will be poisonous. If the dishes 
are kept clean, galvanized ones are all 
right. m. b. D. 
Semi-solid Buttermilk; Pulp for Litter 
1. Will you advise me as to the use of 
semi-solid buttermilk for chicks? 2. Are 
there any objections to the use of gal¬ 
vanized pans in feeding milk of any kind? 
3. Will beet pulp make a good scratch 
litter for chicks in brooder? c. J..B. 
1. Semi-solid buttermilk is an excellent 
food for chicks, though, where skim-milk 
can be purchased at a reasonable price, 
there is no object in paying for some 
more expensive milk product. The semi¬ 
solid product is available where skim-milk 
may not be, and keeps well. 
2. There is no objection to galvanized 
pans for milk feeding if they are kept 
clean, and any milk utensil that is not 
kept clean is objectionable. 
3. I do not see why dry beet pulp 
should not make good litter for chicks in 
a brooder, if they do not eat too much of 
it. I have never tried it, however. Any 
dry, sweet and clean absorbent material 
is all right for litter unless it is of such 
character as to induce its use as unsuit¬ 
able food. If the application of science 
to the art of chick raising becomes much 
more refined, we shall probably soon be 
insisting upon filtered air for brooders 
and individual drinking cups for the occu¬ 
pants of them. m. B. d.
