The increasing number of sum
mer colds that are reported in
poultry focks throughout the
state is attributed by G. F. Rowe,
extension specialist in poultry
and dairying. to inadequate hous
ing facilities to care for an incre
ased number of hens.
Mr.. Rowe declares that the
most successful tretment for the
disease is culling out the flock
until the housing facilities are
adequate to care for the remain
ing hens.
1t was pointed out that cracks
and knotholes in the walls of
hen houses will often cause
drafts leading to colds, and that
it is extremely essential in the
summer that the hens be given
fresh air without drafts. and be
kept in clean. dry houses. food
ed with sunshine.
The first step in treating the
disease, it is said, should be
treated with a two per cent po
tassium permanganate solution.
Mr.. Rowe calls attention to
the fact that the colds are high
ly contagious and that the
disease is spread through feed,
hoppers and drinking fountains.
