This suggests the importance of an abundance abun-dance of fresh, clean water for hens to drink. A flock will quit laying sooner soon-er If kept without water than if kept without food. There must be no limitation limi-tation of any ingredient necessary to the formation of complete eggs, because be-cause hens will lay either fully formed eggs of uniform chemical composition or none at all. |
