Poultry Care Tips From Poultry Notes
Poultry notes advise against crowding chickens and warn of crooked beaks from overfeeding. Ducklings should be fed scalded milk pollard potatoes and similar foods with dairy-fed ducklings considered prime. Use an old rooster to temper strange cockerels and adjust diet to treat vertigo in a hen. Carbolic powder disinfects but irritates birds.
