Herding Tips for Poultry and Turkeys in Cold Seasons
Information from the U S Department of Agriculture notes hens lay well when kept confined in fall and winter with good ventilation lighting and a balanced ration. For water shortages in wells drain tile can be sunk for relief and turkeys fatten best in medium fields with alfalfa rather than in confinement. Use old corn over new, avoid musty grain, mix corn wheat and oats early and shift to corn as weather cools, feeding small portions until birds are ready for killing three times daily the week before.
