Poultry Notes on Chicks and Breeds
Overheating and chilling must be avoided in raising baby chicks. A pullet gains weight through her first winter. Chick mash should be under 18 percent protein. Sunlight daily or cod liver oil supports chick health. US farmers raise more than twice as many chickens than any other nation. The Bronze turkey standard weight is 36 pounds. Roasting early three weeks helps prevent crowding. Ensure chicks never go thirsty. A 10 inch drinking fountain is easiest to manage. Pekin duck originated in China and arrived in the United States about 1873 becoming the top breed on many duck farms.
