Why Laying Pullets Pick One Another There are five mam reasons for cannibalism in laying pullets. 1. They may learn to pick during the starting and growing period. 2 A layer is in a constant state of pregancy and therefore has many cravings for various foods. 3 Lack of exercises and not enough to do. 4. A tendency toward prolapses (eversion of the egg laying organs) m some strains. 5. Inherited cannibalistic tedencies in some strains. Picking Among Chicks and Growing Pullets; Chicks may start picking because they are too warm, because they are left too long without feed 'or do not have an adequate water supply. White-washed walls causing too bright a house may cause picking in chicks and older birds. Pullets on range that cannot get out of the house at daybreak frequently start to pick because they are hungry, thirsty and don’t have anything else to do. Babcock Bessies, and all Leghorns bred by Babcock, are gentle strains and do not have a tendency toward picking Just the same, any strain of. any breed will pick if improperly managed Babcock Bessies will come up into large eggs for you rapidly which will increase your profits tremendously next summer and fall BABCOCK HATCHERY Lancaster County Branch Route 3F.
