Todd, I certainly hope you arent taking classes on Poultry raising. A fellow here in Michigan decided that he wanted to get into farming. However, he didnt have enough land to make a living at it so he decided that he could raise chickens on the small plot of land that he had. So he bought 500 baby chicks, brought them home, and immediately planted them in several evenly spaced straight rows. The next day he went to check on their progress only to find that they were all dead. So he went back to the hatchery and told them that all his chickens died, whereupon the hatchery manager asked him if he fed or watered them, explaining that they needed proper nourishment. The guy bought 500 more baby chicks and this time he made sure he fertilized and watered them immediately after he replanted them. The next day he went to check on their progress only to find that again they had all died. So when he explained to the hatchery that he fed and watered this batch, the hatchery claimed that they had no answers, and suggested that he contact the Agriculture Department at Texas A&M because they were experts in raising poultry. So the guy wrote to A&M and detailed his problem, explaining what had happened to him in both instances. The Head of the Poultry Dept. of Texas A&M, Professor Knowsalot, replied in an official letter on A&M letterhead that from the information he recieved, there were two possibilities for the failure of the chicks to survive. Since they were given enough nourishment, that with the absense of soil samples, he could only conclude that either they were planted too deep, or too close together.
