termine the size of the crop, but
indications point to fewer birds

the same or a little better. Plenty
of feed from now on will put on
weight. Care should be exercised
not to overfeed. If any of the birds
show signs of sickness, it is best
to isolate them and feed a little

ant to the drinking water. Extra
care now will meal extra returns
