Heat dangers devastate poultry herds with high mortality from overheating and cannibalism among fowls. Maintain cooler temps, avoid crowded brooder rooms, use water proof covers during transit, store in dry spaces, and prevent exposure to spoiled feed to protect birds and reduce losses.
The article suggests using darkened nests to deter hens from eating eggs. It describes placing a lens at the nest end and entering the laying compartment from the back so hens cannot see eggs, reducing the temptation to eat them. It notes this method as a preventive measure in egg farming practices.
The article outlines a seven day fattening period for milk fed broilers. Birds are mixed at two pounds with elder skim milk and a sloppy mash from a bucket. In the first two days food is offered but not consumed much, and drinking water is needed to quench thirst twice daily.
The fragment discusses keeping litter dry and sanitary, noting that dirty stools form when litter stays wet. It recommends timely changes to avoid damp or wet litter, and advises feeding only on wire goers to prevent litter inflammation and potential losses.
An unclear historical fragment describes removing a retained egg from a chicken using vaseline and oils. It mentions timing, care, and feeding after the procedure, referencing a person and agency involved in the context.
A handwritten style note describes a lice dip method using sodium fluoride mixed with water. It recommends one ounce of fluoride per gallon of water, a lukewarm bath, and holding the bird until the water touches the skin, with head dipping just before release, plus draining to conserve solution. Avoid leaving the mixture in metal containers overnight.
