62 NATURAL INCUBATION 



Always supply the cluck with plenty of fresh 

 water, whole corn, grit and charcoal. Have these 

 placed conveniently to the nest so that the hen 

 will find them promptly when she leaves the nest. 

 She should also be provided with a dust bath which 

 will assist in keeping down the vermin and keep 

 her healthy. 



Always bear in mind that upon the care of the 

 setting hen depends much of the success of the 

 hatch.
