NOTING PERIOD OF FOWLS
Very Serious Drain on Vitality Of Lay.
Ing Hens-Interestlng Find.
Inas From New York.

By o. W. DYNES, North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Every year the hen goes through a
physiological process known as mott
ing in which 1t sheds the old feath.
ers and replaces them with new. This
is very serious drain on the vitality
Of laying hens. Usually they stop lay.
ing entirely during October, Novem-
Der and December. The New York
State College Of Agriculture has made
some interesting findings regarding
the melting period Of fowls. These
may be summarized as follows:
The hen feathers more quickly In
those areas which protect the vital
parts.
From the incubator to the laying
period, chicks experience at least four
moltings. either partially or com.
pletely.
Hens frequently lay during the sum.
mer while partially melting, but sci.
dom during the general melting.
Young hens molt more quickly than
older ones.
Hens melting very late mott in less
time than those molting earlier.
Hens melting very late give high.
er yearly production than those mott.
ing earlier.
Hens lose in weight while molting.
Broodiness appears to retard mott.
ing.
Starving the hens appears to In
crease broodiness.
Hens melting early resume produc.
ton more quickly after melting than
those molting late.
Hens Noting early lay more eggs
during early winter than hens molt.
ing late.
The most prolific hens mott latest.
It Is thus seen that hens which mott
late are usually the heavy producers,
There is lesson in this for every
poultry keeper. Take proper care OF
the hens that mott late because Of the
cold weather. Such hens make excel.
lent breeders in the spring and should
be properly cared for. This can be
done by putting them into the house
early and not allowing them to suffer
from the cold winds.
