Another secret that we have learnedafter years of experimenting with chicks, isthe use of bran to prevent bowel outside each brooder we have a smalltrough which we keep filled with dry (coarse)bran. It is surprising the quantity of bran these little ones will eat, and it is equally sur-prising the good condition bran-fed chic kskeep in. It is worthy a trial. We generally start our chicks with breadcrumbs moistened with raw egg, or infertile eggs tested out of the incubatorare good for this purpose. We also keep adish of dry oatmeal before them; andfor one meal each day moisten a little. Headquarters for Finest Rose Comb and Single Comb
