Ground Cobs Popular for Brooder House Litter
Ground corn cobs have become a popular litter in brooder houses for chicks says John Vandervort of Pennsylvania State College. Grind cobs to one-quarter to one-half inch, stir every other day, and cover with papers or bags in early days. Other litters include shavings peat moss straw sugar cane peanut shells dried saw dust and hay chaff. Litters should be dust free free from mold and changed as needed to keep the house clean and dry. Each poultryman should pick the best material based on cost sanitation and cleaning labor.

Poultry Notes on Coccidiosis and Chicks Care
Poultry notes emphasize coccidiosis risk in all birds and advise Nebraska farmers to reduce hens and pullets. Do not profit from treating sick chicks, focus on prevention. Proper egg storage yields usable eggs for six to ten months. If male bird fighting is serious, rotate birds. Geese are water loving yet graze on land, turning into a New Year’s feast. Sand should start fine at ten days, later switch to coarser sand or gravel or commercial grit.
