FEEDING YOUNG CHICKENS Clara Nixon^ The important objects to be accomplished in the feeding of young chickens are : (i) To bring to maturity or to marketable size and age as large a proportion of the hatch of chicks as possible; (2) to enable the chicks to develop large, strong, well-proportioned frames and good plumage for their variety; (3) to provide for as rapid a growth as is attain- able, at as low a cost as is consistent with other requirements. In the fulfillment of these purposes the following factors must be considered: (i) The eggs must be incubated properly. (2) The chicks must not be left too long in the incubator after the completion of the hatch; they should be removed to a nursery, or a brooder, when they are thirty-six hours old. (3) The chicks must be strong and vigorous when taken from the incubator. (4) They must be properly cared for and skillfully fed.
