Results to Date and Fertiliser Observations

A note of warning accompanies the presented results of a year’s work on cane fertiliser responses. The study notes that outcomes depend on rainfall distribution and seasonality, with figures reflecting one season and not a final evaluation. The text describes drought in spring, uneven rainfall later, and some autumn benefit, with price assumptions and local quotations used in calculations. It references Pringle Brothers at Mossman and notes a fifteen month old crop with alluvial soil and the Stossman variety.

During moult, heavy feather shedding reduces egg production and weakens chicks next year. Keep birds in a warm house, feed well with a varied diet including sunflower seeds and insects, and provide scraps. Free range fowl require less direct attention but still benefit from warmth, shelter, and steady feeding to promote healthy feather regrowth.
