PROPER CARE OF COCKERELS
Young Fowls Will Need Plenty of
Right Kind of Food and Shelter
for Best Development.

Those who have good cockerels
needed for breeding birds in their own
flocks will see to it that they are
properly cared for. The young cock
erels will need plenty of the right
kind of feed and the proper shelter
and protection so they may develop
into good birds.
The mistake is sometimes made of
not keeping enough cockerels for the
number of hens needed on the farm.
AS a result of this, farm fiocks some
times produce too small a per cent
of fertile eggs. This means consider
able loss for the infertile egg unused
in incubation is almost if not a COM
plete loss.
1t is not easy to tell the kind of
birds young cockerels will make, at
least while they are quite young. 1t
Is necessary generally to keep the
birds till their type, plumage and
general individuality can be ascer-
tanned. The best is none too good and
no one should afford to keep poor cock
erels. Should none of your flock be
suitable, then dispose of all and get
good cockerels to breed up your flock
This Will be economical in the end.
