Poultry Talks
By A: G. 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.
