PULLETS SHOULD BE IN PRODUCTION IN HENHOUSES
W R Whitfield of Iowa State College extension reports only about 10 percent of pullet flocks statewide are confined to laying houses. He advises full rations of 26 percent protein concentrate with whole corn and oats, self fed, to maximize egg production. Delays from scavenging waste grain hinder weight gain and feathering essential for maturation and laying. Overcrowding fears lead to delaying confinement. suggested cure is selling cockerels and culling poorer pullets to improve flock health and winter hardiness.
