SELECT YOUR STARTER WITH CHICK CARE 11 of Perth, care you use in selecting the breed and strain of chicks you purchase for the coining season can be wasted effort, if you do not exercise the same degree of care-in selecting the Chick Starter fed to them. For chicks, like any other babies, respond readily to the care and attention you give them, and if they receive the correct amounts of all the food materials, including minerals, vitamins, and proteins, in a highly digestible and palatable feed, they will make the most satisfactory and thrifty growth possible. Careless feeding or selection of feed can be the causes of disastrous mortality and consequent loss to you. That is why we urge you to investigate the merits of any Chick Starter before you entrust it with the responsibility of the feeding of your 1946 chick crop.
