QUESTION: Will warm water
help hens to lay more eggs during
the winter months?
ANSWER: When it is realized
hat eggs are more than S5 per
cent water, the necessity for plan-
ty of water in the bird’s diet can
be seen. When water freezes or
becomes too cold for the hens to
drink, egg production will faP
off. Providing the hens with
warm water during freezing days
will encourage her to drink am
ounts sufficient for good egg pro
duction. Keep 'em Isylng!
