Healthy Chicks Make Great Layers!
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
