Show Poultry Notes Turkeys should not be exposed to dampness. Roughly figured eggs are grain concentrated con-centrated from five pounds of feed to one pound of eggs. To buy more than four chicks for every square foot of brooder house space is a risky investment. If evidence is found of heavy worm infestation among the young birds, give each a worm capsule before placing them in the laying house. The old theory that turkeys must have plenty of range is not false hm more expensive than rearing them in confinement. A dry mash feeder in the henhouse and a regular feed of grain twice a day for hens kept in a yard Is a far more profitable practice than letting the hens hunt for their summer feed. |
