CAREFUL SELECTION lessons
BROODINESS, TESTS REVEAL l.

BrOody hens, like wayward children,
are great diScrcdit to their parents
and source of annoyance to all who
have to do with them. That is why one
OF the greatest concerns of every am
bilious and enthusiastic poultryman is
to restrict the appearance and develop
ment Of broodincSs in his flock. The
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture has found that broodincss can be
reduced very markedly by careful,
rigid, and persistent selection.
AT tie Massachusetts experiment.
station, where a detailed experimental
study of broodineSs has been made, il
was aSccrtaincd tina. previous to the
practice CT selection the average hen
in the flock was broody 3.SS times Il
year. Attire painStaking selection was
practiccd for ) years, this tendency to
broodincss was reduced SO that the
average egg producer in the flock de-
vcloped broodincSS only 0.3G times d
year. A study of the corrclations be
tween broodincss and cog product ION
shows that pul!cts that are vcry
broody tend to lay relatively few eggs
between their broody periods
There is no one dominant cause Of
broodncSS among poultry. Gcnctcally
there occur distinct types Of non
broodincSS and one Of broodincSs. IL
is believed that birds showing only a
slight tendency of broodincss bclong
in the same class as the nonbroodv
fowls, as each has about the same
proportion Of broody offspring. The
determination of brOodincss is comDIi-
Gated by the fact that birds that are
not broody during the pullct year
may become broody during their
second or third laying season.
