Your poultry profit, from now on, will depend on good feeding! 

 These pullets are now ready for work and will be carrying the pro- 

 duction load this fall and winter. 



Select one of the following feeding programs to help them do a 

 good job. 



FREE CHOICE 

 FEEDING 



"Free Choice" is a method of feeding 

 BLUE SEAL POULTRY BALANCER with 

 farm grains. This allows the pullets to 

 balance their own rations according to 

 their individual requirements. "Free 

 Choice" eliminates grinding and mix- 

 ing or purchasing a lay mash if farm 

 gtains are available. 



MASH one/ GRAIN 

 FEEDING 



The "Mash and Grain" method 

 consists of feeding BLUE SEAL LAY 

 MASH along with whole farm grains. 

 Where supplies of farm grains are 

 adequate, an economical LAY MASH 

 can be made by mixing ground grain 

 with BLUE SEAL POULTRY SUPPLE- 

 MENT according to directions on the tag.

HOUSING HINTS 



I, Gat th* pullets housed. Moving 

 later may result in a set-bock, 

 maybe a partial moult and cessa- 

 tion of production. 



Good sanitation is Important. 

 Thorougtily clean the house before 

 bringing the pullets in. Remove all 

 old litter. Use a lye solution (one 

 pound to 1 5 gallons water) and 

 scrub walls, roosts, floors, and 

 equipment. 



^ Don't crowd the pullets. Allow 3 </i 

 to 4 square feet of floor space for 

 each bird. . 



A Pullets coming off range are sus- 

 ceptible to colds, so watch ven- 

 tilation. Provide plenty of fresh 

 air. Avoid cold cross-drafts. 



m Don't be stingy about the equip- 

 ment. Provide at least one 5-gal- 

 lon water fountain, one 8-foot 

 mash and groin hopper, and one 

 10-hole nest for each 50 pullets. 



^, At least 7 to 10 inches of rooit 

 space should be provided each 

 pullet. Keep roost perches 10 to 

 1 2 inches apart. 



V Discard culled pullets at housing 

 time. It is rarely profitable to 

 house pullets which hove devel- 

 oped slowly, ore undersized, or 

 decidedly immature, very thin, 

 or possess any sign of disease. 



I, Never house pullets with old hens.
