Nine Essential Features for Profitable Poultry Keeping
Оглавление1. KEEP BETTER POULTRY:
Standard-bred poultry increases production and improves the quality.
2. SELECT VIGOROUS BREEDERS:
Healthy, vigorous breeders produce strong chicks.
3. HATCH THE CHICKS EARLY:
Early hatched pullets produce fall and winter eggs.
4. PRESERVE EGGS FOR HOME USE:
Preserve when cheap for use when high in price.
5. PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS:
They keep better. Fertile eggs are necessary for hatching only.
6. CULL THE FLOCKS:
Eliminate unprofitable producers and reduce the feed bill.
7. KEEP A BACK-YARD FLOCK:
A small flock in the back yard will supply the family table.
8. GROW YOUR POULTRY FEED:
Home-grown feed insures an available and economical supply.
9. EAT MORE POULTRY AND EGGS:
Poultry and eggs are highly nutritious foods.
