A Few Don'ts]/or Beginners 



DON'T forget to keep a record of your 

 operations. If you want a good form, 

 write Poultry Division, Central Ex- 

 perimental Farm, Ottawa. 



Don't teed poultry at irregular times. 



Don't think that good chicks can be ob- 

 tained from poor stock. 



Don't forget that grit is the hen's teeth. 

 teeth. 



Don't forget that a broody hen sitting 

 a few hours on fertile eggs spoils them 

 for eating. 



Don't forget that eggs are porous and 

 will absorb bad flavors it they are placed 

 near them. 



Don't think spoiled feed can be ted lay- 

 ing hens and still have good flavored eggs. 



Don't keep a male bird with hens not 

 intended for breeding. 



Don't fail to keep the poultry house 

 clean, dry and sanitary. 



Don't have filthy nest boxes; see that 

 they are cleaned and have fresh litter 

 occasionally. 



Don't let any of the stock get lousy. 

 Keep them free from lice. 



Don't keep the loafers; they make better 

 soup than anything else. 



Don't nail roosts to the wall, have them 

 so they can be removed for cleaning. 



Don't fail to let plenty of sunlight Into 

 the poultry house. 



Don't say your chicks died of white 

 diarrhoea when it was your carelessness 

 that killed them. 



Don't buy a cheap incubator and think 

 it should hatch every egg. 



Don't blame the weather when you find 

 that leaky brooders are full of dead chicks. 



Don't think you can make a success of 

 poultry because you have failed at every- 

 thing else. 



Don't give up hope, however, without a 

 fair trial; it may be just where you be- 

 long. 



The size of the flock which can be kept 

 most efficiently will depend upon the space 

 available and upon the amount of table 

 scraps and other waste available for teed. 

 V. is a mistake to overstock. Better re- 

 sults will be obtained from a few hent in 

 a small yard than from a large number. 

 The back-yard flock rarely should consist 

 of more than 20 or 25 hens, and often not 

 more than 8 or 10. For 20 or 25 hens one 

 should have a yard 25 by 30 feet in size. 



Success with Incubators 



Follow the manufacturer's directions in 

 setting up and operating an incubator. 



See that the incubator runs steadily at 

 the desired temperature before filling it 

 with eggs. Do not add fresh eggs to a 

 tray containing those which are undergo- 

 ing incubation. 



Turn the eggs twice daily after the 

 second and until the nineteenth day. Turn 

 them before caring for the lamps. Cool 

 them once daily, according to the weather, 

 during this period. 



Attend to the machine carefully at reg- 

 ular hours. 



Keep the lamp and wick clean. 



Test the eggs on the seventh and four- 

 teenth days. 



Do not open the machine after the 

 eighteenth day until the chickens are 

 hatched.
