Do Your Pullets
Have Lights?
This tune of year most poultrymen are housing pullets.
Sometimes, you are so busy you forget about one of your
most important assets—lights. As soon as pullets start to
lay it is good to give them morning lights, especially this
time of year when the days are getting shorter. A good
system would be to set your clock for Sam. On-real dark
days it would be a good idea for you to keep lights on
all day
Don’t be afraid that you are pushing your pullets too
hard. Today’s strains are bred for 90% production. You
need morning lights to encourage your birds to peak at
90%. Also with morning lights you will find that your
pullets will come into production more uniformly. At the'
same time feed consumption will increase so these pullets
can maintain this production for a longer period of time.
BABCOCK BESSIES are bred to his 90% production.
They can’t do it though unless you give them the proper
lighting system
Here’s what a successful poultryman had to say about
his Babcock Bessies
“My Babcock Bessies are the most profitable birds I
ever had. .
They hit a peak production of 90-93%’’
