Keepinr Hens LAYING,

No hen will lay an egg every day in the
year. Even those that are non-sitters
will not do it at seasons when they arc
mculting.. and there, is usuallya rest of a
day or two. if not longer, between the
different matches, when the natural time
comes for the hen to sit The time of
moulting may be shortened by care and
good feeding giving the hens the kind of
food, meat, etc. that is required to make
their new coat of feathers. "
