Print on Demand. This book, a compendium of over 30 years of hands-on poultry keeping experience, challenges many long-held views on incubation and brood rearing. The author reveals how fertile eggs and eggs capable of successful incubation are distinct, the latter requiring the right conditions and a tailored approach to diet. The book then discusses brooding, highlighting the benefits of brooding chicks in small flocks, without artificial heat. The author explains how, when executed correctly, this method promotes chick health and simplifies care. The book further explores broader principles such as the deliberate selection of breeding stock based on their observable characteristics and the ability to trace their lineage. By advocating for a more natural approach to poultry care, the author guides readers towards producing healthier, more productive birds, and ultimately, maximizing the success of their poultry operations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …

Our experience in poultry keeping dates back over a period of thirty years, and the mistakes made during that time, if properly explained, would fill a book much larger than this one. While many of our mistakes were expensive and discouraging, we were determined to win out, and as the failures came, we had the opportunity to study the causes, and again start from the foundation to overcome the difficulties. Many times the discoveries were surprising to us, as they will, no doubt, be to you, and were not put down as facts until each of them had been tested for at least five years, and many of them much longer.
We have learned that artificial heat supplied to chickens is not only unnecessary, but better poultry may be raised without it. The average ordinary wood brooder is too complicated, expensive, and there is too much danger of chilling, overheating, or burning the chickens. When they come into this world they are supplied with an abundance of heat and all we have to do is to retain it.
When green cut bone is fed liberally to breeding stock, good eggs from which to hatch strong chickens are not obtained, neither are the eggs likely to be fertile.
The best two pound broilers can be raised when confined to a space of one square foot, when there are not too many in the flock.
Pullets may be properly matured in a space of one and a half square feet, and a laying hen will do her best when given three square feet of Space.
While it is generally. Understood that the largest egg yields from laying hens are obtained from the smallest flocks, the system is not in general use.
It is not uncommon to get six eggs from six hens in a flock seven consecutive days. To get sixty eggs from sixty hens in a flock, one day in a year is hardly possible, and, as far as our knowledge goes, is not on record. Sixty hens properly bred and kept in ten colony coops will lay sixty eggs per day many days in the year, and at least twenty - five per cent. More eggs than the flock containing sixty hens. When chicks do their best they must also be kept in small flocks.
