Poultry Letter
County Agent R M Williams
has released the following letter
to poultry raisers written by Thorn
as B Morris, Extension Poultry
Specialist. Subject of the letter is
"When Should Pullets be Housed?"
Ask twelve different poultry
raisers when they house their pul
lets, and you will probably get a
dozen different answers. Some will
say pullets should be housed when
they reach a certain age, while
others say wait until they have
developed good body size.
Then, there are those that say
pullets should be housed when pro
duction starts; and some say when
they are laying around 15 to 25
per cent. There are a few that
wait until it is convenient.
Of course, there is usually the
problem as to what to do with the
old hens. If the hens are laying
well, should they be kept until
production slows down before
selling them and making room for
the pullets? With egg prices rising
and the old hens laying large eggs,
it is hard to sell them.
Some will tell you that if you
move the old layers they will stop
laying as they are just looking for
an excuse to quit anyway. On the
other hand, is it fair to the pullets
to leave them on range until the
old hens are sold? Perhaps the
ideal time to house pullets is when
they are well developed and a few
days before the flock starts to lay.
Pullets should be housed as they
start laying or by the time they
are in 5 and not later than 10 per
cent lay. Pullets will develop a
routine or habit; and if this rou
tine is broken, it may throw them
into a partial molt. Bad habits
such as laying on the floor are
hard to break, and it can be costly.
Therefore, it is a good practice
to have the pullets housed by the
time they start to lay.
If it is desirable to keep the
old hens, they can be culled and
moved to a shed or range shelters
to make room for the pullets. If
they are culled and moved care
fully at night, they may be trans
ferred without affecting produc
tion.
Ready-to-lay pullets are friendly
and easy to handle if you treat
them gently. Rough handling can
injure and upset the birds so that
production can be affected. Re- ;
member, pullets should be handled
with care for they are the profit |
makers for the next twelve months.
September Reminders
1. Keep good records to show
daily operations for improvements
and to help correct mistakes. Dem
onstration flock records are want
ed for comparison of breeds and
strains. See your county or home
agent for information and record
forms.
2. Plan a grazing crop to raise
your pullets on next spring. One
test found that pullets raised on
a good range had 10 per cent bet
ter livability and 5 per cent more
eggs than those raised in confine
ment.
3. Be sure your pullets have
plenty of feeding and watering
space. Each one hundred birds
should have four feeders six feet
long and one five-foot automatic
fountain or six to nine gallons of
water daily.
4. Gather eggs often. Hold in
a cool, moist room. Sell fresh eggs.
Michigan State
Tests Textiles
East Lansing, Mich. (AP)? Fab
rics advertised as crease-resistant
actually do resiit creases, Michi
gan State University textile re
searchers discovered.
The skeptical researchers put
the fabrics through more than 25
launderings in an automatic wash
er with the water at a tempera
ture of 140 degrees, using a syn
thetic detergent.
They found that although there
was some losa of finish in th*
laundering, the treated fabrics re
mained crease-resistant throughout
the study.
To make the test, both treated
and untreated fabrics were pur
chased from retail stores. Fabrics
tested included crease - resistant
voiles, permanent crisp, powder
puff muslins, crease-resistant nov
elty ginghams, irridescent cham
brays, striped seersuckers and
glazed moire, crease-resistant cot
tons.
Fabrics with the crease-resis
tant finishes cost 30 to 60 cents
a yard more than those without
the finish.
