FLOCK OF CHICKENS
LEARN BAD HABITS
When Fowls Show Signs Of Pull
ling and Eating Feathers Steps
Should Be Taken.
az wALrER B. LEu "a

Sometimes a flock OF hens acquire
the habit OF pulling and eating each
others feathers. in some cases they
are so bad that the flesh of the fowls
becomes torn and sore and the whole
fiock is nearly naked.
When they first show signs OF this
vice measures should promptly be
taken to cure them.
The trouble is caused by too closely
combining the fowls and allowing them
to be idle Where possible they should
be turned on the range where the fas-
cination Of chasing bugs and eating
the green stun will make them forget
the bad habit.
When they cannot be turned out
they should be made to scratch for
their grain In deep litter. Bundles OF
wheat or oats or sunfiower heads may
be hung up Just high enough that they
will have TO work 10 get the seeds.
Give them some turnips or mangle
beets or cabbage heads to work at
anything TO keep them in exercise and
busy.
Feed them plenty 81 green food. meat
meal. beef scraps and green cut bone.

plucked fowls where the feathers
have been pulled out.
