Caring for Pullets on Winter Range
Pullets neglected on melt range lay poorly in winter and may require culling at housing. Range birds need ample feed, water, shade, and protection from predators. Use barrels with automatic fountains to provide water at about four gallons daily per 100 birds. Keep a constant supply of grain-based feed available.
