Sanitary range and shelter urged for pullets to improve laying
Poultry expert N W Williams from North Carolina State College advises a sanitary range with abundant green feed and movable shelter for pullets starting at ten to twelve weeks. Limit to 800 birds per acre, provide shade or frame shelter, avoid heavy protein rations, keep mash available, and ensure ample water during warm weather to promote strong development and later good laying.

Poultry Notes on Turkey Care and Chick Rearing
Farmers are advised to keep turkeys dry and avoid dampness. Egg yield estimates suggest five pounds of feed yields one pound of eggs. Limiting chicks to four per square foot of space reduces risk. If worm infestation is found treat each chick with a worm capsule before placing in the laying house. Rearing turkeys in confinement can be cheaper than relying on wide range. Use a dry mash feeder in the henhouse and feed grain twice daily for yard-housed hens rather than free ranging.
