Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture, the note advises winter egg production by using young laying hens and proper rations. It advocates substitutes for spring conditions such as green feed, meat scraps, fish meal, root vegetables, sprouted oats, and grit, with plentiful fresh water in sanitary containers to support digestion and economy.

Winter House for Poultry
On stormy nights cover south side openings with a drop curtain of muslin or burlap. Lay deep litter of straw on the floor and scatter grains to encourage hens to work. Always keep a mash mixed from bran shorts cornmeal ground oats with 20 percent meat meal.
Better laying rations and farm poultry health guidance
Advice on feeding and housing for laying flocks stresses good rations over stimulants, ample space for cleanliness, winter housing, and careful culling. It warns against roosters, mold risk from cornmeal mash, and promotes green winter feed for spring vigor. Save top sunflower heads for seed.
