Poultry Pointers

One of the best ways of giving milk to fowls is to mix up their soft feed with it.

Fresh bones when ground are the most valuable for poultry, being full of animal matter.

Lime purifies the quarters and dries them. It is cheap and plentiful and should be used freely.

Never build the nests high. Have them so low that the hens can step in instead of jumping in.

Flat perches are best because they are more comfortable to the feet and support the breast best.

When selecting male birds with a view to propagating flesh and prolific laying they should be moderately short legged.
