OSCOCCOCCCOOOOOOOOCOOOOCCOCOOOCOOOCOOOiSCGOOOOOOOOOM ROPER (MK.BKTIOr.S PREVENT CANNIBALISM The temperature in the brooder house is started at 90-95 de grees at the edge of the hover and at floor leveL After the first week the temperature is decreased about 5 degrees a week. At eight weeks of age the heat can be removed entirely as the chicks are properly hardened by that time. Proper ventilation is a very important fac tor. A muslin curtain on the south wall of the house will permit ir to filter through and it is quite effective in preventing drafts. The curtain should be brushed frequently to remove dust. Windows can te adjusted according to outside temperature to admit fresh air. As a general rule, at least one window should be partly open all during the brooding season. Where these conditions are provided, there seems to be little danger of cannibalism. How to Stop an Outbreak If cannibalism should start in the brood, the following control -measures should be applied PROMPTLY. 1 Paint the windows of the brooder house red. 2 Lower the temperature of the broo'der house 30 that the proper degree of heat is under the hover and the rest of the room is cool. 3 Provide better ventilation (without drafts) in the brooder house. 4 Feed MORE milk, green stuff and mash. 5 Feed LESS grain, especially corn. 6 Keep the chicks active and busy by frequent feedings oi green stuff. 7 Provide MORE room at least one-half foot of floor space per chick. 8 Move chicks to range if possible. If not possible, provide a deep litter in the brooder house. 9 Supply ample feed hopper space. At least one inch of hopper space for small chicks and 2 inches for chicks four weeks old or older.' 10 Treat injured chicks AT ONCE. Cover all injured parts with Stop Pik or Pine Tar. PLATOCIOBTH .
