Advice On Farm Topics
It It beat to buy started pullet*
—eight to ten wee In old—or day-1
old chicks? Thli Question la fie-,
quently asked by beginners in the
poultry production enterprise.
If you want to control diaeaaes
In your flock, thia ia a question you
muat face whether you are on a
large or small acale production,
aays Glenn Andrews, poultry apec
ialiat for the N. C. Agricultural Ex
tenaion Service at State College.
You will normally get the aafest
replacement atock from hatching
egga or day-old chicks. Many poul
try diaease are carried by half
grown or mature birda infected
with diaeaae, but ahowing no aymp
toma. In many caaea a respiratory
diseaae makea Its appearance soon
after the arrival of atarted birda,
that have been tranaported a con
siderable diatance from where they i
were brooded.
Often, people who buy what they 1
consider a bargain learn aadly that
their "prize" cornea down with
diaeaae several daya after they
bring it home.
Purchaae of adult flocka has
cauaed aeveral diaeaae outbreaka
in various sections of the country.
Think about thia before you buy
atarted pulleta. Don't let "George"
raiae your replacementa. It's eas
ier to let "George" do it, but it
may alao be coatly in the long
run. "George" may be raiaing re
placementa for other people, too,
and will have birda of varioua agea
on hia farm. People will be coming
and going with cratea and vehiclea.
Thia la not a good aanltation prac
tice.
Where to buy ia important The
best place ia uaually a hatchery op
crated under the National Poultry
Improvement Plan, or Iti equiva
lent in standards, and as near home
ai possible The hatchery ihould
have a pullorum-typhoid rating and
chicks ihould be delivered in Dew
boxes. Mr. Andrews aays terras
such as "Three-Star," "Blue Rib
bon," or "Grade A" are not spe
cific enough in their meanings.
A trade-mark means something
if the person selling under It fol
lows approved practices. Don't
fall for cheap chicks or started
pullets. In case you have chicks
shipped from a distance, ask your
carrier to notify you as soon as
they arrive. Make sure your chicks
or pullets do not travel over the
week end. Most shippers are glad
to cooperate with you in making
satisfactory shipping arrangements.
"Let's try to solve some of our
problems," concluded Mr. Andrews,
"by getting good stock from pul
lorum-typhoid clean hatcheries
which are close by.
