Mr. Hurniek has built four ho us

each area and the equipment in

cally lifted and dropped. At pre-
set intervals the central zone,
which houses all the chickens, is
lifted, allowing the chickens free
access to the colored zones. The
central seeder' is then dropped
and the chickens in each zone
counted.. The experiment is re-
peated Several times a day and an
average number of chicks mov-
ing into different colored eoneS is'
tabulated.
Results, after 12 days, showed
