Poultry Keeping Tips From An Old Almanac
Clean eggs preserve reputations for freshness and avoid damp storage. Cull old roosters and prevent head injuries. Ducks yield about ten to a pound of feathers. If poultry farming fails avoid blaming chickens. Goose feathers spoil quicker than chicken feathers. Use carbolic acid and coal oil as disinfectant with a sprayer. For limp neck give four drops turpentine in tea. Charcoal helps. feed fowls generously. Breeding value matters as much as cattle bulls. Sick birds threaten flocks. remove at first sign. Hygiene, hard work, and common sense are essential. Provide crushed oyster shell and winter eggs need. Green fodder is valued. chop cabbage and peelings. Dark nests deter egg eaters. if persists, use ax. In long buildings, include an alley for convenience of movement.
