ADDITIONAL CARE REQUIRED
FOR EARLY HATCHED CHICKS
(By J, H. Pettit)
Range shelters are a good invest
ment for any farmer. Comparative
ly speaking, they are the most ec
onomical way of housing the grow
ing birds on range. They should be
small and light enough that they
can. be easily moved, if necessary,
by two people, Chicks can be placed
in the shelters, depending on the
weather, as soon as they are well
feathered. In most cases the chicks
would be from 10 to 12 weeks of
age before they could be moved
from the colony house. If early in
the season the weather turns cold,
the sides and ends of the shelters
can be closed in temporarily. This
will provide extra protection, and
will prevent the •chicks from be
coming chilled and crowding to
gether. The small type of shelter
which can be easily moved will ac
commodate from 50 to 75 birds
during the growing period.
Range shelters have many advan
tages. First and most important is
th’at it is possible to grow a better
bird in a shelter than in a colony
house. This is because the birds
never become overheated. There is
always circulation of air from the
sides and ends, and even on the
hottest days in the summer the
birds will find the inside of the
shelter comparatively cool.
Many unthrifty chickens are the
result of growing birds being in
fested with mites. Mites can be con
trolled much easier in range shel
ters than in colony houses. Due to
the movability of the shelters, the
birds can be moved several times
during' the season to new ground.
This helps, in the control of disease
and is a means of providing the
birds with fresh green pasture
throughout the summer months.
This enables the .farmer to grow
strong, healthy birds in the most
economical way.
Provided the birds are locked in
the shelters at night, losses from
■foxes, owls and skunks can be kept
down to a minimum without the
■birds becoming overheated. In or
der to grow the best possible birds
this year, use range shelters.
