HOW TO IDENTIFY CHICKENS
Where Fowls in Neighborhood Are
Much Alike 1t Is Excellent Plan
to Paint or Dye Them.

Neighbors living close to each other
grow chickens which are very much
alike. Often each party thinks the 9th
er is in possession of some of his birds
and trouble begins. In order to avoid
this, one neighbor will get some black
chickens because his neighbor has
white ones.
I. Hens in adjoining yards, If they
get through the fence, often make
their home in the new quarters.
2. Different varieties In adjoining
breeding yards are in great danger OF
becoming mixed.
3. All birds in any community which
are apt to range together should be
one variety properly branded.
A good grade of dye or paint is the
best method of marking the birds to
be detected at sight, different people
using different colors. If all are grow
ing white birds, one person can use
red on his birds, another blue, another
green, etc. placing the color on the
wings and tail so they can be seen at
distance. This gives quick identifi-
cation of the birds, and in addition to
helping neighbors to identify their
own birds, will help control wholesale
chicken thieves. because of this identi-
fication.

The ordinary person, who does not
