BREEDING CHICKENS
FOR EGG PRODUCTION
•‘Breeding chickens for high egg pro
duction is in its infancy,” said Prof.
L. H. Schwartz of Purdue university
recently. “There never was such a big
demand as there is now, for males par
ticularly, of known breeding. Large
returns are in store for the fanner
raising reliable standard bred birds.
Selection Is the keynote for success in
any breeding enterprise.”
One essential for successful breed
ing is to have at least two pens, one
for the breeders and the other for the
layers Both males and females should
be carefully selected and only the best
used for breeding. The practice of
using pullets in the breeding pen was
condemned, while breeding from birds
molting late in September, October and
November is recommended.
Late molting birds have proved to
be the beßt birds for breeding high
egg production. A bird, in order to be
a high producer or a breeder for high
production should be full of energy,
have plenty of capacity, have a deep
body and long and wide back. Males
and females,should be kept as long as
they breed and produce well. The
desirable way of introducing new
blood is by buying eggs or pullets.
The Inheritance of high egg produc
tion is transmitted through the male,
and only high producing liens should
be used.
When birds are not too closely re
lated and are carefully selected, well
housed and given a well-balanced feed,
the improvement of our flocks for
egg production will take place.
Eggs for Hatching Must
Be Gathered Carefully
At the time an egg is laid, the germ
is smaller than the eye can see and is
located within a ring visible on the
surface of the yolk. It is very deli
cate and improper handling of the egg
before ft is set may kill this germ.
Eggs to be set should be gathered
several times daily to prevent chilling
or “starting” by a broody hen. The
nests should be kept clean, a wire
mesh bottom nest which lets the dirt
out being best The eggs should not
be washed, as this opens the pores and
allows the egg to evaporate. Scrape
the dirt off and do not set those which
are very dirty.
Keep them at a temperature of from
50 to 60. At 68 they will start to
hatch, and if not put under a hen at
once will probably die. Do not put
them in dusty material or where dust
can gather on them, as this will close
up the pores and smother the chick
later. A basement Is much better
than a dry room. Do not hold the
eggs over seven days before setting—
-Bve days Is safer. —O. C. Krum, Poul
try Specialist, Colorado Agricultural
College.
Whitewash Favored for
Cleaning Chicken Coop
Because mites breed so rapidly, the
hen house becomes uninhabitable by
summer If preventive reeasures are not
taken In the spring. Mites can live
for five months without blood, so that
•losing the poultry house during the
summer will not completely starve
them out. Tills explains why they
can live through the winter and be
ready to breed the next spring. A
poultry house can be kept absolutely
free from mites. Clean out all the old
aests. Clean up all litter on the floor
and bum it. Paint the roosts and
dropping boards with undiluted com
mercial liquid liee-killer, or with crude
aetroleum. Apply to the entire length
of the roosts, top side and under;
ilso where the roosts Join the wall.
Repeat in June, and again in August.
Spray the entire interior of the coop
vith disinfectant whenever you clean
it. Whitewashing and cleanliness
largely prevent poultry disease and
:he red mite as well. —American
Poultry Journal.
Poultry Hints
Do not breed from mongrels. Keep
anly one breed.
* * *
If the floor Is damp the litter should
ae covered with four to six Inches of
ltter at all times.
* * •
The litter on the floor should be
iept clean. It should be changed at
east every three months. Dirty litter
is very unsanitary as well as un
rtghtly.
• * •
The nesting material should be
cleaned at least once every two
months and the nests well sprayed
with disinfectant. Mites and disease
?erms find good resting place In dirty
lests.
* • •
Broodiness Is inherited and can be
•educed by not breeding from the j
hens which are broody more than
*nee In a year.
* * •
More and more eggs are being |
>ought on a quality basis. Do not set
Kgs which are off In shane. color,
w texture of shell.
• • •
Turkeys need an abundance at
‘resh, pure water. If they can’t get j
t from the brook, spring or horse
Tongh, keep a bucket fall of fresh
rater in a shady place.
