Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the findings of an experiment in raising chickens that the author carried out at the West Virginia Experiment Station between 1901 and 1902. The author sought to determine the best methods for producing winter eggs, aiming to cause hens to shed their feathers early in the fall so they might regrow before cold weather set in. In the experiment, the author tested different feeding methods, including completely withholding food for periods and comparing the results to those of chickens fed a continuous diet. The book discusses the importance of proper nutrition and housing for laying hens, addressing factors like the correct ratios of proteins in their diets and the necessity of keeping hens warm at night. This book provides valuable insights into poultry farming practices in the early 20th century and offers practical advice for poultry farmers and chicken enthusiasts alike.
