A Gotham girl visiting a friend upstate observes incubators at a model chicken farm and doubts artificial chickens can taste like natural ones amid comments on medicines and standards.
Poultry specialists from the United States Department of Agriculture advise thorough cleaning and disinfection of incubators after each season or when disease is present. Use coal tar disinfectant or carbolic acid, renew burlap if dirty, and apply formalin and permanganate gas in a three cubic foot unit. Close the door for at least twelve hours and air well before reuse.
The feeder must judge feed amounts as hens eat differently by pen and season. A rough guide: about one quart scratch grain and equal mash daily for 18 general purpose hens, or 14 smaller or egg breeds. roughly seven and a half pounds of each per 100 birds for Leghorns, nine and a half pounds for 100 general purpose fowls. With free-range greens a general hen eats about 75 pounds yearly, Leghorn about 55 pounds. Government poultry farm experiments support these figures.
The article explains hens with a natural laying tendency postpone moulting until egg production ends. It notes egg breeds delay more clearly while meat breeds may molt and lay concurrently. Feathers shed gradually and egg output slows but may not stop.
