Care of Pullets Influences Egg Production
Poultry specialist of the Colovale Agricultural valley notes that pullet care and feeding largely determine egg output through winter. Proper gradual growth from 2 to 6 months for Leghorn types, longer for Plymouth Rocks Wyandottes and Rhode Island Reds, is advised with a starter mash from weeks 3 to 4. Reducing animal food when the comb turns bright red signals slower growth and steadier egg yield. A feeding mix of corn meal 30 pounds ground wheat 50 pounds sound barley or oats 10 pounds and molasses 5 pounds, fed two months before production, helps birds gain weight and fat, improving winter egg vigor.
