FEEDING THE LITTLE CHICKS

Mixture of Equal Parts Hard-Boiled Eggs and Stale Bread Is Best for a Starter. For the first three days chicks may be fed a mixture of equal parts hardboiled eggs and stale bread, or stale bread scakbd in milk. When bread and milk are used, care should be exercised to squeeze all milk out of the bread. From the third or fourth day until the chicks can eat wheat and cracked corn, commercial chick feed is a good ration.
