Seite 219 - This ration should be supplemented with beets, cabbage, sprouted oats, green clover or other succulent food unless running on grass-covered range. Grit, cracked oyster shell and charcoal should be accessible at all times. Green food should not be fed in a frozen condition. All feed and litter used should be strictly sweet, clean and free from mustiness, mold or decay. Serious losses frequently occur from disease due to the fowls taking into their bodies, through their intestinal tract or lungs, the...
Seite 216 - Wyandottes, especially with yearling or two year old hens, the tendency will be for them to take on an excess of fat. Under such conditions it is the best policy to restrict the amount of mash eaten by leaving the hopper open during the afternoon only, thus inducing the birds to work during the morning hours for the cracked grain fed in the litter at the morning feeding.
Seite 130 - The dropping boards, perches, and nests are best arranged on the back wall, the perches being hinged to the wall so that they may be hooked up when cleaning, the nests being darkened by a hinged door in front which may be let down when it is desired to remove the eggs. The dividing partition between the units is built of boards and extends from the back wall to within six feet of the front wall; the remaining space is left entirely open. This protects the birds from any drafts when on the roosts....

Regulate the proportion of grain and ground feed by giving a light feeding of grain in the morning and about all they will consume at the afternoon feeding (in time to find grain before dark). In the case of pullets or fowls in heavy laying, restrict both night and morning feeding to induce heavy eating of dry mash, especially in the case of hens. This ration should be supplemented with beets, cabbage, sprouted oats, green...

I suspect the hen is the most efficient transformer of raw material into a finished product that there is on the farm. Her physiological activity is something remarkable. -So in that particular the hen stands in a class by herself.
Seite 218 - It will be noted that by feeding a night ration as outlined, the materials are supplied to keep the bird's body warm during the night. The above ration is designed for Leghorns. When feeding heavier breeds, it is desirable to eliminate one-half of the cracked corn and to substitute barley for the buckwheat. During the summer months a night ration of equal parts of corn, wheat, oats and barley will supply all the needs for Leghorns. A good rule to follow in feeding the night ration is to give all...
