PROFITABLE POULTRY PRODUCTION 



SO as not to spread the disease if possibly they have 

 it. Attendants should also be similarly careful. 

 Constant disinfection should continue until all signs 

 of trouble are passed. A solution of one pound 

 carbolic acid in 25 pounds, or 12 quarts, of water 

 should be used everywhere in the sheds and poultry 

 houses, and every part should be thus disinfected. 



COOP WITH DETACHABLE RUN 



Upper part of coop -with canvas or wire netting front. 

 Useful at first for young chicks; later as roosting quarters for 

 cockerels and pullets. 



DIARRHEA 



In every case what is called the white diarrhea 

 in young chickens can be traced to mismanagement 

 of some kind, either in the parent stock, the in- 

 cubator, or chicks themselves after being hatched. 

 The poultryman is generally not aware of the 

 trouble being with his methods or with those of the 

 men from whom he purchased the eggs, and is, 

 therefore, likely to search for some remedy to cure 

 the cases under his notice, when the whole matter 

 lies in prevention. 



It is the experience of practical poultrymen that 

 remedies are unavailing, but that prevention is.
