A. 35. I prefer to keep them separate until about two 

 or three weeks before breeding. 



A. 36. I keep them all together until ready to breed. 

 The off-colored or less desirable I market as broilers regardless 

 of price, as I want the room for the pullets.

A. 35. Cockerels are yarded together in flocks of 15 to 

 20 when taken from general run. They are separated again 

 when any evidence of quarreling starts. The fighters go first. 



A. 36. I have a house in which coops 3 by 4 feet are 

 ranged along the wall in tiers. Each cockerel gets one of these 

 compartments if worthy of such care. Cheaper birds are yarded 

 with a vigorous cock who keeps them well in hand. 



A SUCCESSFUL HATCH 



A. 34. I do not separate at all, as I sell breeding stock. 

 My male birds are nice this way. Of course I.do not get quite 

 so many eggs, but the yards are cleaned up by March.' 



A. 35. If you separate the sexes you will of necessity 

 have to separate the cockerels if you wish to keep their plumage 

 nice, as they pull each other to pieces.

3 by 5 feet in a large building.
