American Poultry World Vol 4 PDF Download

Excerpt from American Poultry World, Vol. 4: June, 1913 Hens that must be confined in small yards during the summer months require very careful handling to come out strong and vigorous after the moult. Cleanliness and exercise are the two prime factors in handling the biddies in confinement. Assuming the roosting room is kept clean and swe-et'by liberal use of lime wash applied several times during the summer to the walls, nests, floors and drop boards, and pure air is allowed to enter the open front house, day and night, the best thing to look after is the covering on the floor. It should consist of deep and clean straw or leaves, so that scratching for the grain becomes a busy but pleasant task. Musty and damp hay or wood shavings are an abomination in a well conducted chicken plant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
