BEFORE YOU RECEIVE YOUR CHICKS CHECK THE EQUIPMENT 
The last item of preparation is the checking of the equipment. We like to brood chicks 
in lots of 250, so the items below are based accordingly. 
Have a good supply of fuel on hand. Use chick wire to enclose chicks around hover for 
first few days. For litter use granulated Peat Moss, one bale covers 250 sq. ft. one inch 
deep. Use three 40 in. mash feeders, see page 62. For water use two six quart founts with 
adjustable stands, see page 62. At least two, 3 compartment hoppers are necessary to 
supply grit, charcoal and shell. Start with 300 lbs. of chick starter mash, use a good com¬ 
mercial grade. When this mash is about gone, change gradually to a good growing mash. 
Buy 100 lbs. of good chick scratch and then change gradually to intermediate size. Be sure 
to have a supply of green feed available. Finely chopped Lettuce, Swiss Chard, Kale, Cab¬ 
bage, Clover, Oat Sprout3 or Alfalfa. All are good. For Chick Food see page 65.
