Poultry Care Rules For Clean Housing And Feeding
Keep the house and yard clean and feed grain heavier in the evening. Use straw litter so hens scratch for grain and keep poultry free from mites. Grow green crops in yards if not permanent sod. Start small if inexperienced and expand as you gain success. Don’t let roosters run with hens after breeding season. Infertile eggs store better.
