Feeding the Chicks 
Feed Hollybrook Chick Scratch the first two days to pre- 
vent paasting up. This scratch should be spread on news- 
papers or box tops and chick size grit should be sprinkled 
sparingly on top. 
Beginning on the third day, keep Hollybrook Starting and 
Growing Mash before the birds at all times, using adjust- 
able chick size feeders. At about four or five weeks of age 
change to a larger type adjustable feeders. 
At six to eight weeks of age, gradually begin feeding 
grain with the mash. By the time the birds are ten to 
twelve weeks of age, from one-third to one-half by weight 
of the total ration may be grain. Pamunkey Scratch is 
well suited for this purpose. 
Hollybrook Starting and Grawing Mash is fortified with 
extra vitamins, minerals and proteins to permit the feed- 
ing of grain to chickens after they are six to eight weeks 
old. Care must be taken not to feed more grain than is 
recommended, as this practice will throw your diet out of 
balance. The grains are low on protein, and most of the 
vitamins and minerals, and enough mash must be fed to 
provide these essential elements. 
This system of feeding should be continued until 5% to 
10% of the pullets start to lay, at which time they should 
be switched to Hollybrook Laying Mash. The ratio at which 
producing hens should be allowed to consume grain depends 
upon the weather, rate of production and the breed or strain 
of bird. In general, they should be fed what grain they 
will clean up late each evening in 30 to 45 minutes. It is 
best not to force pullets too fast when they begin laying. 
At that time it is generally recommended to feed grain and 
mash in about equal amounts by weight, and to hold in 
recerve the feeding of wet mashes and other stimulants in 
order to increase production later. As production increases 
more mash is fed in proportion to the grain. However, more 
grain should be fed in cold weather than in hot weather, 
as they need more body weight in the winter months to 
help protect them from the cold. 
It has been found that some breeds and strains, especially 
broiler strains, get too fat if fed much grain. It is, there- 
fore, necessary to restrict the grain to whatever level neces- 
sary to maintain proper body weight and egg production. 
Don’t Overcrowd 
Many chickens develop into culls because they are not 
given enough floor, feeder or watering space. It is a serious 
mistake to raise more chicks than you can accommodate. 
Allow at least % sq. ft. of floor space for chicks up to 
6-8 weeks of age. Pullets raised to laying age in confine- 
ment must have at least 2 sq. ft. per bird. As they reach 
laying age, allow 3 sq. ft. for light breeds and 4 sq. ft. for 
heavy breeds. 
During the first three weeks, provide at least one inch 
of chick size feeder space per chick, and increase this as 
the chicks grow older. By the time the chicks are 6 to 8 
weeks old 21% to 3 inches of feeder space should be provided, 
using large feeders. Gradually increase this amount so they 
mer have 4 inches of feeder space by the time they begin 
aying. 
Each chick should be provided with about one-half inch 
of space at the waterers, and this should be increased as 
they grow older.

A Good Pasture Pays 
Since the cost of feed is the biggest expense in raising 
chickens,i t is wise to provide a good pasture. It will save 
on the cost of feed and at the same time put the birds in 
a better shape for laying early next fall. There is probably 
no substitute for sunshine and green pasture when raising 
chickens. Sunshine helps to keep the chickens healthy, and 
provides vitamin D for proper bone development. A good 
succulent pasture reduces feed cost 10 to 25%, is an ex- 
cellent source of vitamins and lessens the chance of any 
cannibalism and feather picking. If the range is kept clean, 
“it also lessens the chance of parasitic infestation and dis- 
ease infection. 
PERMANENT PASTURE. A good permanent pasture 
saves labor and provides grazing throughout most of the 
year. Wood’s Permanent Pasture Mixture is, we think, 
the best on the market for this purpose. It contains a 
mixture of 14 to 16 different grasses and clovers, assuring 
a good pasture for a longer period than most other pasture 
mixtures, as these different grasses and clovers make their 
maximum growth at different times. 
The following mixtures are recommended for different 
soil types. Specify which mixture you desire when ordering: 
No. 1. 
No. 2. 
INO.) 3: 
Pasture mixture for light gravelly or sandy soils. 
Pasture mixture for loam clay soils. 
Pasture Mixture for moist, low lands. 
SUPPLEMENTARY PASTURE. It is usually necessary 
to provide some supplementary pasture along with the perm- 
anent pasture at certain critical periods of the year. Wood’s 
Grain Pasture Mixture is ideal for this purpose. It provides 
more grazing at less cost than any other spring crop. The 
grains are balanced with legumes to provide protein for 
growth and warmth during cold weather. It should be 
sown before grass and legume mixtures are ready, or as a 
nurse crop when seeding permanent pasture and clover 
mixtures. 
It is particularly popular for poultry and hogs, as it con- 
tains rape properly balanced with spring oats, barley and 
rye grass. Protein is furnished by hairy vetch, Canada field 
peas and lespedeza. 
The feeding value of both permanent and supplementary 
pastures are greatly increased if kept in an active growing: 
condition by frequent clipping. Also, more grazing will be 
provided if the chickens alternate from one pasture to an- 
other at frequent intervals to prevent overgrazing.
