Agent Recommends Two Chick Broods
County Agent James F. Kearns says two or more broods annually may boost poultry output in the Food-for-Freedom effort. An early February brood and a second 12 weeks later can double the crop with little extra equipment, though housing must avoid crowding. Iowa State College poultry specialist W. R. Whitfield adds that a summer shelter can ease the transition between brood ing and laying seasons.
