Description
If a brooder house is used the chicks may be housed in it until time to put the pullets into winter quarters, providing the cockerels have been taken out. A brooder house 10 X 12 will accommodate 350 chicks, but that is not room enough for more than 35 to 40 pullets. Much loss is often due to overcrowded conditions. (See more in text.)
