At three o’clock another collection of eggs is made, and at five
o’clock eggs are again collected, and at this last collection all the
corners of the litter under the dropping boards are carefully searched
for eggs laid by the wayward Biddy, who prefers her own scooped
out corner to a good nest.
The Houses are closed for the night, according to the condition of
the weather, and at this time still another collection of eggs is made.
At seven-thirty the Houses are again visited, and all birds not
roosting as they should be are removed from the nest boxes or
windows and placed upon the perches.
Moisture
On The Corning Egg Farm moisture is provided in the Cellar by
thoroughly wetting the floor with a hose twice a day, the floor sloping
gently to a drain in one corner. Large earthen-ware vessels, of about
three inches in depth and eighteen inches in diameter, are stood at
different points throughout the Cellar, and are constantly kept filled
with fresh water. This is done, not so much for the purpose of
increasing the humidity of the air, as it is to take up the impurities. As
an illustration, if you stand vessels filled with water in a freshly
painted room, the odor of paint is almost entirely absorbed by the
water.
As even a temperature as possible is carried in the Cellar, and at
all times there is a constant flow of fresh air, but it is so controlled
that it does not produce a draught. It should be remembered that
while a moist cellar is desirable, unless it is well ventilated, it is
utterly unfit for the purpose of incubation.

A Balanced Food
On The Corning Egg Farm the question of chick food that could
properly be called “chick food” has been a study for years, the
problem being to procure a balanced ration containing, as closely as
possible, the ingredients intended by Nature for a young chick to eat
and thrive on. Many experiments were made with different mixtures,
both with chicks running with natural mothers and with those being
reared in the Brooder House, and it was found that in all cases
where corn was fed in the mixture the results were bad. The
youngsters running with the hen did not show the large mortality
which those did in the Brooder House, but even the broods running
with the hen did not do nearly so well where the corn was fed, as did
those not having this ingredient in their food.
The great mortality in young chicks is produced by the upsetting of
their digestive organs. Corn is very heating, and as soon as the
chick’s blood is over-heated its digestive organs fail to work properly,
and what is now known as “White Diarrhœa” almost invariably
develops. It is claimed by some authorities that this difficulty comes
from a germ which is in the egg before incubation. This may be the
case, but it is certainly true that wrong feeding will bring this germ
into active life, and snuff out the existence of the chick.
Another phase, which has been a special study on The Corning
Egg Farm in the brooding of chicks, is an abundant supply of fresh
air, not only in the room itself, but also to have the oxygen fed to the
chicks properly when they are under the hovers. The use of gas for
heating the hovers was found a decided improvement over the lamp,
so far as the freshness of the air went, but, for procuring the purest
hot air, to flow up into the hovers, we are now installing a system of
hot water pipes.
