He gives the brood a pan ofwater nearly filled with sand and pebbles, on warm daysonly. They dabble in this, and eat grit, to their good. Heprefers cochin bantams for them, as they are good callersand keep chattering to the restless young, controlling thembetter than other kinds. Silkies, though quiet, are poorcallers and thus not good disciplinarians. Moreover, theirhairy plumage gets soaked from the young ducks, and ishard to dry. Further Experiments.
