More Poultry advice from Kansas Farmer 1914 January
Aw, thanks Laura, am excited to see your posts here on this blog and Peepers is in a very good place!. Very interesting stuff your posts!! I enjoy reading those old articles too. My chick too is very active, trying to already jump out of the brooder. I think I will need to do something like you did to prevent flying since they are showing signs of flight already!

Yes, Peepers is testing his wings out too.
There is a couple ways to make the lid. You can build one from wood and some sort of netting, garden fencing, screen or meshing. Or you can use the lid that comes with the tote and cut two sections out and sandwich the screening over the holes with strips of the light thin wood or cut the scrap plastic and using some sort of heavy duty glue to adhere it together.
One nice thing is you can make multiple ones that can be stacked, the brooder supplies can be stored in the tote brooder and if you keep one extra lid intact put that on top… to keep everything nice and tidy till next use.

Totally not chicken related, but related to the old texts.
The letter f was used for both f and s, except when the s was at the end of the word. I saw capital S used in the middle of a word, when it was the lead in for a paragraph. (I think it was the word "abscess.")
Ok, so I notice weird stuff. I learned this back in 10th grade. In 11th grade, a teacher wrote
fpafm
on the board and said he'd give whomever could pronounce it correctly $5. A few kids tried. Then I raised my hand and said, "Spasm." He was very surprised and never did give me my $5.
