READY TO HOUSE
YOUR PULLETS!
Pullets moved from range to the laying house find themselves in an en
t’ely new environment, "Strange Quarters'", as far as they are concerned
1. Supply extra fountains around the floor and on the roosts, also feed-
ers.
Some of the birds which looked so nice when you brought them in will
have difficulty finding feed and water at first and get uneven and loss some
weight unless feed and water consumption is kept at a high level by extra i
waterers and feeders.
2. Feed -33 EARLY BIRD POULTRY FITTING RATION in hoppers first
2 weeks instead of scratch.
When birds are brought in off range lack of exercise may cause some
constipation. Fitting ration helps keep comb color and vigor.
3. When changing to scratch don't have your litter too deep in the
house at first.
Scratch in deep litter when pullers are housed is apt to cause a decrease
in feed consumption the first few days. Pat some scratch in the feeders as
well as on the floor at the start.
When chickens are ulsed to their quarters after the first few weeks build
up litter gradually to desired depth.
4. If your chickens start to lay on range DO NOT FORGET Oystershells
or Calcite Grit.
Without these the bird will draw on her calcium reserve in the bone
structure to make the shells. This will eventually result in some weak and
poor birds and poor shell quality.
5. Early Bird All Mash Redon or Early Bird Egg Mash and Grain will
help you. to efficient LOW COST production of quality eggs with just the
right yolk color.
