Scratching Advice for Poultry Hens and Broilers
The farmer who raises poultry can always obtain ready money. A chick that is continually chilled seldom amounts to much. Do not feed grown up fowls too much soft food. Allow one bushel of grain per year to each laying hen. Keep the best pullets for maturity and save the slow ones for broilers. Yearlings lay 40 percent more eggs than two year olds.
Poorly Fed Hens Underfed Despite Table Scraps
The note discusses hens fed mostly on scraps like boiled potatoes with Ulso and salt. It argues this diet leaves them underfed, with crops full but lacking the nitrogen needed to manufacture eggs. It warns against overdoing good things and misperceiving apparent fullness as nourishment.

Hatchability of Eggs and Hen Variability
The report describes hens with differing egg hatchability. Some lay nearly always hatchable eggs, yet fail in incubators, often producing early death shells. Others lay many hatchable eggs under natural conditions but not under artificial incubation. A minority of hens produce eggs hatchable under almost any condition, with strongly fertilized eggs that endure temperature and other factors to yield a healthy chick. From Ontario, W. U. Graham notes these variities.
