Feeding the Young Chick
A poultry guide explains feeding young chicks by age. Start with water only for the first two days while the hen feeds out of reach. From day three feed sparingly every two hours with wet mash, then add cracked grains gradually and reduce feeds to two mash and three grain feedings by day six. If worms are scarce provide substitutes like milk or beef scraps and offer finely chopped greens for green feed when outdoor grazing isn’t possible.

Cheapest cattle feed shown at Nebraska university farm
Experiments at the Nebraska university farm show beef can be produced cheapest and most profitably in the state with a mix of corn silage and alfalfa hay. Corn silage earns 60 percent more per ton than shredded corn stover when fed with corn meal and alfalfa, while corn stover is worth 80 percent as much as prairie hay. Prairie hay is not profitable for fattening cattle, and growing calves gain most cheaply on a liberal ration of corn silage and alfalfa without grain, as grain costs rise with more corn meal.
