ration that causes egg eating.
Usually the thing that is lacking is
some form of animal food to take the
place OF the bugs and worms the fowls
pick up in the summer. Meat scraps.
green cut bone or skim milk should be
fed. Hens won't lay well. anyhow, un-
less some one of these enters into the
rations.
Soft shelled eggs which are easily
broken In the nest are a constant
temptation to sthe hens. The cause OF
soft shelled eggs Is either not enough
lime froDl which the hens can make
shells or the hens being too fat.
Ground oyster shells kept where the
hens can help themselves is about the
cheapest way of supplying lime. To
prevent the hens from getting too fat.
see that they take a proper amount Of
exercise, Feed the grain in litter so
the fowls must scratch for 1t. II Is
probable that egg eating may be
caused from the hens not having
enough grit Grit is the hens teeth.
They can't digest their food without
it. SO, II grit is lacking, much of what
they eat passes through them undl-
gested. The fowls will feel hungry
though getting plenty to eat Then
they are apt to eat eggs-but net to
lay very many or look very thrifty.
Small pebbles, broken crockery or
stones will do for grit.
Have the nests rather low. A hen
must stand up in the nest to eat eggs.
II the nest is too low to allow her to
stand up she can't eat the eggs.
Gather the eggs two or three times a
day and don't have too many nests.
