This is the time cf year when many poultrymen are cleaning out after their hens to get ready for pullets I have been calling on a lot of poultrymen lately and I find quite a few putting young pullets on old litter This is bad. Here’s why; When a pullet begins to lay she is pregnant for the first tune She is under a tremendous strain just like a heifer having her first calf She is more nervous and jumpy Now if at this critical time she must come in contact with all the disease eggs and contaminated droppings of the old hens before her, there is a good chance the stress will be too great There is always a certain number of weaker birds in a flock It is these birds that will fold up under old litter conditions A good poultryman is one who can bring 90% of his pullets into production at one time and I can guarantee you won’t get 90% on old litter! Your Babcock Bossies are bred to peak at 90% I see it everywhere I go so be a top poultryman and give the girls a chance this year with a good, clean pen. A good program to follow would be to clean out all the i lanure. then scrub the floors and three or four feet up \ alls with hot water and lye solution Let it set a couple cays, then spiay thoroughly with Carbolineum or some other good disinfectant Wait a week or so before putting in the young ladies P S You’ll like oui new lower prices now' in force BABCOCK HATCHERY Lancaster County Branch Route 3F.
