Philips Formerly Professor in charge Poul- try Husbandry Purdue University. Winter egg production is unnatural. It is the result of ‘“civilizlng” our poul- try flock. Consequently it appears that we use every effort that is prac- tical to see that our laying birds are kept in an environment which pro- vides. dryness, reasonable warmth, plenty of floor and feeding space, and an abundance of feed. We can include all of this in the one word “comfort”. Pullets on dirty litter, on floors sparsely covered with litter, in cramp- ed or poorly lighted quarters, in hous-. es that are drafty or extremely cold, with insufficient water and feed sup- ply or water vessels and feed hoppers and fed on unpalatable rations, are not comfortakle. When birds huddle to- gether in one part of the house or upon the roosts and remain inactive for hours at a time, it is evident that they are uncomfortable. Very often such birds are found to have empty crops and lay but very few eggs. Profits are not forthcoming. “The singing bird is the laying bird” —but what will induce her to sing? The answer is—comfort.. The following schemes of management will help to provide this: I 1. Three and a half to four |feet of floor space ‘per bird (house. square in the \ 2. Clean and sufficient litter to keep |the floor covered. 3. Correct number of windows and sufficient open front to provide light for all parts of the pen. 4, Water in abundance but not too cold or freezing. 5. Feed hoppers with feeding space of not less th one foot for wach five birds. 6. Feed “Hoppers Tocstea in such a way that they are well lighted and the feed easily obtained.
