Separate Cockerels From Pullets for Better Growth
It will pay to separate young cockerels from the pullets at eight to ten weeks. This aids pullet development, allows cockerels for market, and saves labor if chicks are hopper fed after five weeks. Place grain and mash hoppers on the range to promote exercise and sunshine for vigor.
Fattening Turkeys Begins On October First
Farmers start fattening turkeys on October first by gradually increasing morning and evening feeds. Well fed birds move less, so avoid confinement. Provide ample buttermilk, keep hoppers clean, and use deep wooden troughs for wet mash from 10 to 12 inch boards.
Lime for Hen Yard and Soil Cultivation Advice
The article urges liming bare poultry yards and plowing or spading them, then keeping the area under cultivation for several weeks. It notes air-slaked lime as a soil disinfectant may vary in value but should benefit crops planted, with frequent soil stirring to prevent disease contamination. Continuous cultivation and stirring are advised for disease reduction.
