WHEN EGG-MAKERS GO ON A STKIK I Broody Hens Represent An Ecu nomic Loss When Not Neede For Hatching;—Harsh and ( ru» Measures Not Needed to Over come Broodiness. In a recent radio talk, Ray anond Hitchcock stated that eve; though he had called all his hen together and scolded 'them «e verely, they still refused to la, •any eggs for him. Not many peo pie would employ the famous ee 'median's method for trying t. get eggs but many of the way used to break hens of brootlines are just as ridiculously ineffec tive. It is really important tha better ways of overcoming brooo (iness should be known. A brood ben is an- 'Unprofitable hen esper ially where lincubatons do all th< hatching. Consequently the soon er her broodiness can be broke: up the sooner she can begin one, •more to earn her hoard and lode ing. It is a mistake .to frighten a broody h*n by tying red rib bons to her t al 1, plunging hr; •into cold water, or confining ihc; in a closed box without food, wa ter or liglh.1. fiueh metho<ls below to the dark ages of poultry rais ing. They do not actually cuh 'broodiness hut. only put the her in (poor flesh and health. The only way /to get a ben out of tills con dition fis to get her mind off th< subject, so to speak, so she w 1 once more begin eating and drink ing in noi.'iii'al fashion. One good way to accomplish this is t,i confine one or more broody hens iin a small coop wiith a vigorous male Broodlniess can also Ik* easily and humanely overcome through the use of broody coops. The ini - pod taut thing in using such a coop is to get tihe broody hen into it the very first day she shows anv sign of thiait •condition. If this is done she will forget her broodi ness in less than half the time that will be needed it’ she is al lowed to stay on the nest, two, three or four days. The longer broodiness is allowed to continue the harder it is to overcome and (the greater will Ik* the loss of e^g production. I shall describe two broody coops that 1 have found exceptionally effective. Fdr just one hen, make a coop 2 by 2 by 2 feet. The sides are to be of slats for ventilation, and the top solid for protection.' Using a single rope or wire fastened to the center of the top, hang this coop from any convenient rafter or branch of a tree. Such a coop will sway with every gust of wind and with ever step the hen takes. That -will keep her so busy try ing ito retain her balance that she soon forgets her broodine-ss. The second form of broody co-op 1 wish to describe may be used with good effect, when a number of hens all decide to go on a strike at about the same time. This cocqj should be 3 by 4 or 4 by 5 feet and two feet deep. The sides should be made of slats or poultry netting and the floor either slatted or solid. A good roof should be provided and should extend far enough on each side to give good protection from the rain. This coop should be at least 2 or 3 feet off the ground to allow for good circulation of air all around the hens. This is very import ant, as broody hens should be kept cool. From three to six hens may be placed in this coop ami kept in it day and night. I; should he put in a cool, shady spot instead of the sun.' Plenty of good feed and clean water should he kept within easy reach of ibroody hens tlie whole time they are confined ir a Ibroody coop. This is very im portant and should not be neg lected under any circumstances. Hens so confined constantly fuss among themselves, which tends to make them forget their broodiness. Seeing other fowls at liberty also helps considerable to speed up the end of broody spells. This method should have the de sired effect in from three to five days. It is a particularly good method not only because of its ef fectiveness but (because it is ab solutely humane. Better than any method of cur ing . broodiness is the plan for eliminating it, now being success fully used by many poultry rais ers. With careful breeding it i3 possible to develop a strain of non-*sitters or hens that will not go broody. Only hens that do not go broody should be used for breeding and if care is used ui selecting just the right hens, brood:-n«s& can be practically elim 'J mated in a few generation.*. A broody hen, unless needed for hatching eggs, is simply a I nuisance and an unnecessary mii * stance at that. ' It is so easy t. ■ break up the habit there is To reason why it should be toler ated. Hut to be successful, one ■ must not make the mistake of i lifting the harsh methods once so much in vogue. The right way is always the cheapest and best. That is why l recommend sane, humane meth ods of curing hroodiness. Tle-y work along scientific lines by mu trying 'to scare the hen out of her ibroodiness, but by replacing the brooding idea with something else. This method brings 100 per cent success because it leaves the hen in excellent physical condi tion ready and willing to resume her profitable jri> of laying eggs. Diplomacy and gentle methods are ju.- t. as superior to force when dealing with feat here I strikers as they usually are with the hu man variety. < Copyright, 1020 by Dr. L. D. , Led oar, V. S.)
