Pullets moved from range to the laying house find them
selves in an entirely new environment, “Strange Quarters”,
as far as they are concerned.
1. Supply extra fountains around the floor and on the
roosts, also feeders.
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 lose some weight unless feed and
water consumption is kept at a high level by extra waterers
and feeders.
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 Utter too
deep in the house pt first.
Scratch in deep litter when pullets are housed is apt to
cause a decrease in feed consumption the first few days! Put
some scratch in the feeders as well as on the floor at the
start.
When chickens are used 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 FOR
GET Oystershells or Calcite Grit.
Without these the birds will draw on her calcium re
serve 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 Ration or Early Bird Egg Mash
and Grain will help you to efficient LOW COST production
of quality eggs with just the right yolk color.
