Show Avoid Egg Eating Vice by Keeping Birds Busy-Egg Busy-Egg eating is a vice which seldom develops among birds that are kept occupied and have proper feed and range. Often when the birds are confined con-fined owing to bad weather, they may become inactive and the trouble starts. The remedy is to get the birds on range if possible. Supply ample oyster shell and bone, deepen the litter lit-ter and darken the nests. See that the rations are correct. Gather the eggs frequently for a few days. Some recommend the feeding of milk for a few days. Anything that will get the birds' attention on other matters will help remedy the situation. |
