Clean pen costs and best chick housing practices
Poultry production can cut costs by using large hatches and timely care to reduce chick mortality. Begin with small yards then expand to a broader house as chicks learn where heat is. Use muslin frames in spring, later switch to netting, keep younger birds in movable pens to avoid interference with hens, and give cockerels access to a green yard for market prep.

Open Type of Equipment Useful for the Chicks
Two good reasons open type equipment helps raise young chickens are extra room and better ventilation in heat. A six by six foot movable house with a board roof can be built cheaply using 2 by 2 inch framing and two inch wire mesh for walls. No floor is needed and low roosts keep chicks off the ground. long-term protection from storms, rodents, and pests is noted after warm weather.

The Orange Judd Illinois Farmer notes proven transmission and advises sending samples to state universities for technical examination if suspicious signs like white liver spots appear.

Mash Brings Forth Eggs in Hen Feeding Debate
The article explains that mash increases egg yield but hens may favor grain. It recommends a light morning grain to drive hens to the mash hopper and nests. For 100 hens, 12 to 15 pounds of scratch grain daily, two thirds at night, ensures a full crop at roost.
Feeding ducklings: starter oats bread crumbs sand
Equal parts rolled oats and bread crumbs with about 3 percent sand form a starter feed for incubator ducklings. Feed three times daily until day four then switch to a mash of oats bread crumbs bran and corn meal. After week two use a bran low grade flour and corn mix.
