Ducks are free from lice and disease, and general purpose fowls are medium sized and productive for both meat and eggs. Toulouse and Lambden geese top farm breeds. Do not mix chicks hatched at different times. Provide shade for chicks on warm days.
Advice from a Iowa Homestead correspondent on turkey care and feeding. Include remedies, vermin control, lime and sand mix, charcoal benefits, sulphur on poults, greasing under wings, salts and iron doses, ginger cures, and disinfectant drinking water. Emphasizes dry housing, sharp grit, and varied diet for eggs and health.
A National Stockman correspondent says hundreds of chickens die yearly for lack of shade. Planting fruit trees in poultry yards is affordable and adds farm value. Peach trees are best, with pears and apples also useful. Planting tips include digging wide holes, keeping roots in natural position, pruning young trees, and avoiding manure in holes.
Feeding guidance for four week old chicks recommends a grain mix of whole wheat barley cracked corn and hulled oats with oats ground and husked if oats are omitted. A dry mash of ground oats cornmeal and wheat middlings plus sour milk is urged for rapid growth and market readiness.
