Fowls should have empty crops in
the morning, and the crops should
never be quite full until it is time to
go to roost at night. For the first
feed, grain scattered in the litter early
in the morning is preferred, the soon

roosts.
This induces them to exercise, which
is especially important on cold winter
mornings. In the middle of the day a
