A writer in the Horse Breeder notes young colts should be kept away from constant dam contact to prevent slow growth. Draft horses mature early, reaching about half their growth by 12 months, with 1,200 pounds at that age being common. Proper feeding begins with bran and crushed oats, and management favors barn time for colts while mares work, to avoid overexertion and bowel troubles.
The Percheron Society of America reports its fastest growth in seven months with 784 new breeder members. Growth comes from novice breeders across nearly all states and parts of Canada as farmers seek purebred mares for farm work and profit from their colts. Wayne Dinsmore notes mares outperform geldings or mules and add revenue through offspring.
The Rhode Island Reds, with Single Comb and Rose Comb varieties, outgrow Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes in appearance and popularity. Originating with Rhode Island farmers, they now rival these breeds nationwide. They are hardy and good winter layers, with rich red color and black tail and wing markings. Cock birds weigh 8½ pounds, cockerels 7½, hens 6, pullets 5.
Popular Mechanics reports on concrete hens nests with one in operation. A hen hatched 15 chicks in the nest and used it as shelter for herself and her brood at night and during storms. Also note new songs by Nickele Carthage set for next Monday and Tuesday.
