Keeping Hens Laying in Hot "Weather' H
1. Put lights on hens from midnight on. This ||
allows them to eat early in the cool pait of the ::
morning Be sure there is plentv of fresh feed avail
able in hoppers early in the morning, even if it means ::
filling the hoppers in the evening I would not ;j
recommend lights on laying pullets at this time £ of jj
year as it may affect production later on. <■ ::
2. On yearling hens, if an all-raash program is be- «
ing used, feed consumption can be increased by
switching to an all-crumble or ail-pellet prograp
Hens became lazy in hot weather and can eat moye \\
with less effort. ■ H
*«
3. If you hgve a pen that gets exceptionally hbt ll
due to no insulation under the roof tn w hite washing
the roof Ordmarly the white wash will last oyer
most of the hot W'eather, and jou 11 be surprised iat
the difference it’ll make i
4. Fans really pay off Use large capacity fans apd jj
mount them so they blow into the pen A thermostat ;♦
can be used to stop fans if weather suddenly gets too H
cool at night. ::
5. Check for lice and mites Lice and hot weather
can wreck a good flock of lavers ••
Many poultrvinen have told us that Greider leg- H
horns hold un better than most other shams m hot ::
weather This ability has also been shown in egg H
laving tests Whv don’t nou ti\ a fock of Greider jj
