GOOD NEWS FOR
Chick Brooder Builders
Brevard Lumber Company has just re
ceived a supply of one-half inch mesh
hardware cloth three feet wide for use
for wire floors for chick brooders. Use
this wire for the floor of the brooder
only, and for the sunporch, sides and top
use narrow wooden slats. Thermostats
are still not available, but you can fairly
closely control the temperature by vary
ing the light bulb size, using a larger size
when the weather is cool and replacing
with a smaller bulb when the weather is
warm. Light bulbs alone, without ther
mostats, have been successfully used for
many years for brooding chicks.
