POULTRY TALK AMONG THE
LADIES.
The following talk by Mrs. N. R. Green
on poultry, may be interesting to our
readers.
Let us first give our way of caring for
the chicks. We placed the eggs under the
hens (the writer uses both incubator and
hens) and waited. But while waiting for
the chicks to hatch, the coops had to be
made ready for those with hens.
The old proverb “Do not count your
chickens before they are hatched ” is for
gotten many times, we fear. We selected a
place in the orchard for their abode, where
sunshine or shade could be reached, as we
had plenty of room for chicks or fowls to
range in. Some whitewash, with a few
drops of carbolic acid mixed in, was used
while hot, thoroughly whitewashing every
coop.
This was the prelude and must be the
interlude in some way, if we attend to our
Q’s and P’s. No lice! Oh, no we are not
one of the lucky ones who are'never troub
led with those little friends, but we bid

farewell to them, for if once their acquaint
ance is made they stick closer than a broth
er, if allowed to. After the allotted time
expired we went to the nests, and lo! what
a nice lot of chicks of different varieties —
Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns,
etc. But if you please, this was not the
first time we had been to the nests, since
first setting the hens. If any of the eggs
chanced to get broken they had to be re
moved, and soiled ones pleaned and a con
stant lookout kept for vermin. When the
chicks were dry and smart, we moved
them to their new home (having well dus
ted the hens all through their feathers with
insect powder) and there we left them—
only to feed the hens, until the chicks were
thirty-six hours old.
For the first few meals we gave bread or
cracker crumbs, which had been run
through a bone mill—no moisture in the
feed but seldom, and that with sweet milk,
and so little it could scarcely be discovered.
We fed three times a day, but they had
unlimited range—if confined to limited
quarters they should be fed four or five
times a day, and a different or greater va
riety given. The second day of feeding we
gave sweet milk for drink, and changed,
sometimes milk and then water, all through
the season, but very particular about giving
fresh drink every time of feeding, and did
not give any more food than they would
eat at one time. It is well to have tiny
troughs to feed in, as the chicks are not so

apt to trample on the food while eating.
After three or four meals we began to mix
oat meal (pin head) with the crumbs, and
in a week the crumbs were abandoned, and
cracked wheat was mixed with the oatmeal,
and soon cracked corn; (fine) and thus they
were kept, almost entirely on grain food,
and milk or water, with good range. About
three times a week they had a warm break
fast, especially if cold or rainy, made of a
mash thus: Cooked potatoes four parts,
wheat middling two parts, bran two parts,
unsifted cornmeal one part, ground meat
one part. Drain the potatoes and mash all
together while hot, salt and pepper as for
ourselves. A little bone meal was also
dusted in.
After chicks were two weeks old the
oatmeal was left out, and whole wheat and
cracked corn was fed. The warm mash
was not fed until two weeks old. We have
discarded boiled eggs from our bill of fare
almost entirely, except for turkeys; they
seem to thrive on them. The floor of our
coops we moved to fresh spots every two or
three days. After all this care you would
think “those chicks ought not to be lousy,”
but wait! One day while feeding, one of
our little girls exclaimed, “ Ma, what ails
that chicken!” It staggered and acted as
though a saloon was near by, where it had
taken a drink, but no, no, not so. We
examined the little fellow, but found noth
ing, and might have exclaimed like many,
“it had no lice.” Nevertheless, we resorted

good dusting, and the next morning he was
all right. Others were treated the same
way. You may draw your own conclu
sion as to the cause. And thus our exer
tions confined without ceasing, day after
day ; and still continue.
Does it pay? Certainly. We have a
large flock of chicks, some that were not
marked suitable for breeding, were sold for
broilers. Another way in which it pays is,
we enjoy it; if not, we should have stopped
years ago.
Among the most popular breeds, the
Rouen duck takes first rank. Its present
make up is largely due to the efforts of
French market poulterers. The drake is
broad, straight and rather longer than the
duck. Has a lustrous green plumage with
a purplish shade on head and extending
down the neck to the ring of pure white,
which almost encircles it. The breast is
purplish brown or claret color, and reach
ing well toward the legs. The underparts
of body, a fine wavy, silver-gray, terminat
ing behind by solid black; wings show
colors of grayish brown, purple and green
with a band across them of
rich purple, green and blue, edged
on both sides with white; flights
dusky brown, free from white, and the
whole plumage throughout, soft and silky,
blended and shaded with rare colors.
