Feeding For Winter Eggs
Well-bred, properly housed poultry
are necessary for highest egg produc-
ton. In order to make these fowls
give best results, it is necessary to
supply the proper feed. Feed for
egg production may, for convenience
be classed as grain and mash feed.
About 1-3 of the grain is fed in the
morning in each litter of straw or
other similar material. This makes it
necessary for the fowls to exercise
as they get this food. The remainder
OF the grain feed, preferably that
with larger sized particles such as
corn, may be fed at night. When
corn, barley and oats are available,
the rate of Y by weight of corn and
the other half barley and heavy oats
would be recommended. If neither
barley nor heavy oats are available
the amount of corn may be raised to
two-thirds of the grain ration. Kaffir,
milo, or feterita are quite similar to
corn and may be used as a subst-
tute. The grains are rich in fat
forming material and must be sup
pemented by the mash feed. The
mash feeds are kept before the fowls
at all times. A satisfactory mash ra-
ton may be made of equal parts of
bran and shorts with 1 per cent bulk
and 20 per cent meat scraps or high
grade meat meal or tankage. Let
the chickens have all the sour milk or
buttermilk they can drink. 1t is not
necessary to feed many meat scraps.
Oyster shells are necessary for best
results. Clam shells, often called
poultry shells, are not satisfactory.
The hens do not eat them as they do
oyster shells. Get the genuine oyster
shells and feed them all that the hens
will eat. Water should not be neg
lected. About two-thirds of the egg
is water and the body requires still
more. If it is not given, the hens
will not lay well.
Pointers for Winter Egg Production
Don't forget to have the scratch
floor and keep the flows busy.
Feed for both whites of eggs anC
yolks. Grain, and mash will do this.
Feed well. 1t doesn't pay to under
feed.
Keep oyster shell and water before
the hens at all times.
