Sunlight Rules in Poultry Houses for Winter Health
The article stresses the importance of optimal sunlight for laying flocks in winter. It advises windows at both ends to illuminate the floor, many south wall windows with high grade glass to pass UV rays, and clean, well fitted panes. Removable summer windows are preferred to avoid weathering.
Adequate Ventilation Essential for Poultry
Adequate ventilation is crucial for a profitable poultry flock. Fresh air must replace the moisture-laden air without creating drafts. The open front principle is common, with front openings about one tenth of floor area. Muslin coverings protect fronts during severe storms.
Avoid Diseases Raising Healthy Chicks
Strong healthy chicks depend on keeping them from infection and diseases thriving in old poultry yards. Old birds may be free from illness yet harbor diseases that harm young chicks. Wire screen floors have been used for years and their use is increasing rapidly among poultrymen.

The California Cooperative Crop Reporting Service bulletin from Sacramento says pasture and range conditions are brighter than a month ago, especially in northern districts. New feed developed after December rains but remains insufficient to fully support stock, with supplementary feeding continuing. Rains and snow since January 1 boost agricultural prospects statewide, though cattle and calf conditions on January 1 are still below last year. Local improvements followed rains due to more feed and milder weather.
