Hens to Lay More Eggs With Summer Wet Mash
poultry expert L M Hurd recommends wet mash feeding in late July or August to boost egg production. Use skimmilk or semisolid buttermilk if available, or oats soaked in water as a milk substitute, feeding the same amount as normal mash to hens for about twenty minutes. Include tender greens, fresh water, shade, and control red mites. tobacco dust at two pounds per hundred pounds of mash is advised to curb worms and coccidiosis, though nicotine content must be guaranteed.

Hen Offspring Best Indicator of Ability
A three year USDA study finds progeny testing of a hen’s daughters is the most reliable guide to her laying ability. Tests with 793 White Leghorn hens show dams’ egg production and sire dam influence poorly predict progeny performance. Full sisters and different matings yield diverse results, undermining selection by current egg production alone.

Poultry Industry Notes and Odd Facts Across States
Ohio ranks fourth in poultry production with 24,954,000 chickens and pullets yield about 20 percent more eggs than yearling hens. Seneca county farmers marketed 1,800,000 eggs last year while a Rhode Island hen owned by Ernest Bahr laid a 9 1 4 inch circumference egg. National poultry income trails only cattle, cotton, hogs and milk, and the first American poultry exhibit was Emden geese shown by Sisson at Pawtucket in 1826. A Tyrrell county farmer in North Carolina built a brick brooder costing 60 cents for stove piping and 20 cents for lime, reporting it works fine.
