Ohio Poultry Calendar Sets Egg Production Standards
The Ohio State poultry department says a hen’s daily egg claim isn’t typical. A 365 day standard is 160 eggs, while state average runs about 70. High-grade hens can pass 300 eggs, but that is uncommon. November records are lowest with five eggs. April rises to 21 then declines. The calendar, sent to 3000 growers, tracks flock performance and includes housing feeding breeding and disease notes.

Floor space guidelines by breed for poultry housing
Light breeds such as Leghorns Anconas Minorcas require three and a half square feet per bird while heavy breeds like Plymouth Rocks Rhode Island Reds Wyandottes and similar need at least four square feet per bird. If current housing is too small to meet these needs build more room to maintain sanitation and bird vitality and protect egg hatchability.

Wire Mesh Nests Beat Mites and Breakage
Poultrymen build nests with fine wire mesh bottoms in laying houses to reduce mite infestation by allowing dust and litter to fall through and to lower egg breakage. Nests can be sprayed for mites, and when straw is low eggs remain protected from breakage.
Heredity Traits Guide Rooster Breeding Standards
Roosters contribute most hereditary factors shaping chick quality and allow careful selection of breeding males. Ideal flocks would be led by males with good size color and vitality and a pedigree of at least 200 eggs on the dam side.
Poultry Notes on Winter Feeding and Breeding
Poultry keepers should feed cod liver oil from winter quarters to boost vitality. Separate coops for late-molting hens with nutrition like corn buckwheat mash and tonics. Maintain dry drafts free yards with sanitation to curb cocci and disease as well as avoid undesirable breeders with disqualifications.
Paper Politely Requests Quiet On Delivery
A fragmented note urges readers to avoid bringing items to the newspaper office during late hours and jokes about practice disruptions. It stresses courtesy in handling delivery and press operations.
