Scarcity of Fresh Kggs Next Pall
and Winter Can be Remedied by
the Alert Poultry Man Chickens
Which Are Late Hatched Are Al
so Late Sitters.
A recent issue of the Weekly
News Letter published by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
contained an article of timely Inter
est to farmers and all poultry rais
ers who are interested In having a
steady supply of fresh eggs through
out the year.
Nature requires her children to
take an annual vacation, the article
says, and nowhere do human beings
puzzle their brains over this fact
more than when the hens begin this
yearly holiday. This vacation is
technically called the 'molting sea
son. It begins during the late sum
mer, the hens slop laying, and
change their suits of feathers for
new ones. Continuing the article
says:
Usually they consume three or
four months in the process. Most
of us know this perfectly well, but
are apt to overlook the fact that a
very Important feature of the molt
ing period is that egg laying stops.
We are unreasonable and expect the
hens to lay all the time. When the
hens take this vacation new-laid
fresh eggs are scarce and remain
scarce until the pullets hatched dur
ing the preceding spring begin to lay.
The remedy is very simple, and is
under the control of the poultry
man. The first step is to have
chickens hatched early, so that the
pullets begin to lay when the hens
begin to molt The best plan is to
have the chickens coming at inter
vals during March and April. The
earliest hatched pullets will, of
course, begin to lay first. If any of
them begfn to molt, their -places will
he taken by the later ones and a
steady supply of eggs will be more
certain.
The difficulty in the way of the
practical application of this matter
is that so many poultry keepers are
dependent on hens for hatching, as
long as we have late hatched chick
ens we will have late sitters. The
poultry keeper who wants to change
from late hatching to early hatching
must tnererore either - get broody
hens from some one elese or use an
incubator. After he has "changed
the dates1'- en his flock lie will hate
no trouble, especially with, the
American breeds. v ,
