Mites Destroy Poultry Nests and Broods on neglected Farms
Farmers report mites in neglected flocks invading nests where hens lay and hatch. The pests lurk under straw and hatch out broods, causing significant losses. A practical preventive is sealing nests with solid pitch to block cracks and entry points.
Feeding the Baby Chicks in Poultry Rearing
An Oregon station guide outlines a chick rearing system starting with no feed until 36 hours, then bran with raw egg or bread dipped in milk, plus cracked wheat and sand. Water, grit, charcoal, and bone are kept available. A week-old diet adds moist mash and a grain mix, with beef keraps, while nest hygiene and lime whitewash improve cleanliness and deter mites.
