Then Piit Birds on Laying Feeds
NOTE: 18-19 pounds total feed intake should bring birds into lay
and provide all nutrients required for a real bird with better than
average laying ability and livability. This program does not require
the extra 25 per cent feed intake necessary on the extreme high fiber
feeds. A hopper feeding on range once daily will save labor and
give you a very uniform bird.
Protection and good immunization against the various types of
coccidiosis is provided, of course.
For an interesting comparison of costs and labor requirements
of our various pullet feeding programs contact any EARLY BIRD
