The article outlines early poult feeding regimens. Start with milk soaked stale bread, egg, cracker crumb mix and dandelions, fed every two hours for two days.

A Beltsville Maryland USDA experiment shows hens produce the most eggs when allowed to choose their mash. The preferred self selected mix for Leghorns is 66 parts cornmeal 26 parts meat scrap 4 parts wheat bran 4 parts wheat middlings. General purpose breeds respond to a mash with more bran and ground oats and less meat scrap.
