Dear Poultryman
How are you 0 Probably very busy with your field
\ ork We at the hatchery are all fine. 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
