Robert A. McGowan
Robert Anthony McGowan (May 22, 1901 – June 20, 1955) was an American screenwriter and film director. Biography Born in Denver, McGowan is best known as a junior director for the '' Our Gang'' short subjects film series from 1926 to 1930, and as the co-writer of the series during the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer period from 1938 to 1944. McGowan was named for his uncle, ''Our Gang'' senior director Robert F. McGowan. Since both Robert McGowans worked on the series, Robert Anthony McGowan was usually credited as Anthony Mack. While McGowan directed a number of ''Our Gang'' entries in the late-1920s, his work is considered lesser than that of his uncle. He appears on-screen in the 1932 short ''Free Wheeling'', in which he is socked by a boxing glove attached to the kids' makeshift taxi. Personal McGowan married Madeline Rosselle, the daughter of a choreographer, and had two children. His daughter Mickie McGowan (1938-2022) was a voice actor, casting agent, and ADR director.

Chicken Feed
Poultry feed is food for farm poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese and other domestic birds. Before the twentieth century, poultry were mostly kept on general farms, and foraged for much of their feed, eating insects, grain spilled by cattle and horses, and plants around the farm. This was often supplemented by grain, household scraps, calcium supplements such as oyster shell, and garden waste. As farming became more specialized, many farms kept flocks too large to be fed in this way, and nutritionally complete poultry feed was developed. Modern feeds for poultry consists largely of grain, protein supplements such as soybean oil meal, mineral supplements, and vitamin supplements. The quantity of feed, and the nutritional requirements of the feed, depend on the weight and age of the poultry, their rate of growth, their rate of egg production, the weather (cold or wet weather causes higher energy expenditure), and the amount of nutrition the poultry obtain from foraging.
