To the poultry breeder on a note
Till autumn, as they say, no distance. August, and there will fly by … If September is dry, the poultry breeder has less than efforts, and if dampness overcomes?. It is necessary to take care of that it didn’t get into hen houses first of all: more often to change a laying during the day in a clear weather, to air rooms, to put on corners pots with a lime or the heated bricks when the bird walks; not lishne from time to time will dry hen houses the lit oil lamp, putting it where there is a dampness.
Especially it is necessary to watch an old bird. It fades at this time, is weakened, and therefore can easily catch a cold. It is necessary to preserve it against cold. If there are still late chickens and young turkey poults, and they should be preserved against all diseases.
To feed chickens four times per day, and an adult bird – three follow at this time. Birds with white plumage shouldn’t set in a forage yellow millet and corn during a molt, and that new feather gets a yellowish shade.
By autumn already young cockerels usually grow up and their fighting spirit starts to be shown. Teases should be transplanted on separate sections or sheds. And young women are better for holding together, up to 30 heads, but provided that a room where them contain, rather spacious. And "early" young women who by autumn are already ready to rush, it is necessary to move more often from one hen house to another to beat off at them this hunting. After all if they start to rush in September, it will suspend their further development and they remain under-sized and weak-willed.
Quite often it happens, especially when for a week will charge rains, a bird on neskolku days don’t set free. And it, pining from idleness, gives vent to the bad habits – hens each other pull out feathers. Sometimes it happens, if they are disturbed by insects, but is more often – no other than bad habit.
As soon as noticed such behavior of a bird, at once examine all others, grease them with kerosene, then aggressive separate from quiet, seat them on single cages, and it is better – in separate sheds.
The grain forage should be scattered in a laying and to suspend somewhere on a peg a swede, turnip or a half-head of cabbage that the bird had a good time, poklevyvy these titbits which should get to it with some work.
In such a way it is possible to relieve it of this addiction. If it not to make, it is necessary as to kill nothing a bird, after all if to start up it to another, and they will catch this bad habit, especially during time, molts when veins of new feathers still contain blood, and birds with pleasure exhaust it if once it happened to them to try it.
In very crude and cold weather for prevention of cold it is useful to add a tiny pinch of red pepper to a morning forage of a bird. Dripping on a kitchen garden potatoes, don’t leave small nedorosly potatoes, they, in a razvarenny view with small impurity of salt and chopped onions, an oat flour or bran – an excellent forage for it. And in good weather when the crop on a kitchen garden is already cleaned, let a bird to become buried in it. It not only will clear beds of wreckers, but also will fertilize the earth the dung.
