“Breaking  Up”  the  Broody  Hen 
The  managers  of  the  Missouri  egg  con¬ 
test,  Prof.  Patterson  and  Prof.  Quiseu- 
bofry,  give  in  Bulletin  No.  10  of  that 
institution  a  good  discussion  of  the 
broody  ben.  They  say  that  some  people 
think  broodhiess  is  tin*  sign  of  a  good 
layer,  while  others  do  not  want  the 
bi'ixidy  In  n  at  all.  The  beat  hens  in  two 
years  at  rhis  Missouri  contest  averaged 
1 1 IS  eggs,  and  went  broody  four  times 
per  year.  It  is  not  a  safe  rule  to  select 
the  mai-sliters  as  the  best,  layers.  The 
liens  which  laid  less  than  .100  eggs  aver¬ 
aged  ITi  limes  broody.  Those  which  laid 
between  UK)  and  200  eggs  averaged  2^ 
broody  periods,  and  all  that  laid  over  200 
eggs  went  broody  twice.  There  are  some 
people  who  believe  that  when  a  heu  be¬ 
gins  to  lay  she  bus  a  certain  number  of 
eggs  which  must  be  laid  before  she  goes 
broody.  This  is  not  correct.  The  pro¬ 
duction  of  eggs  seems  to  be  an  endless 
chain  which  continues  according  to  the 
ability  given  the.  hen  by  nature,  unless 
interrupted  or  broken  up  by  browilness 
or  sonic,  outside  influence.  Prof.  Patter- 
sen  claims  that  broodiuess  is  a  condition 
of  tbo  brain  and  not  of  the  body.  When 
a  ben  goes  broody  she  is  in  a  laying  con¬ 
dition,  having  the  different  parts  <*f  the 
egg  partly  developed.  By  reason  of  her 
sitting  on  tin*  nest,  lack  <>f  nourishment, 
loss  of  appetite,  and  lack  of  exercise,  the 
lien  takes  the  egg  material  buck  into  her 
own  system  !Uid  uses  it  for  nourishment. 
Therefore,  if  a.  good  record  is  desired  the 
broody  feeling  must,  lie  broken  up,  and  as 
this  is  a  condition  of  the  brain  it  calls 
for  a  special  treatment.  The  way  the  hen 
is  broken  at  the  Missouri  contest  is  to 
put  her  Into  a  small  coop  "built  of  scrap 
lumber  and  wire.  This  coop  is  shown 
in  the  picture  at.  Fig.  -‘1M,  page  109.  She 
is  supplied  with  food  and  water  but  left 
in  tho  open  coop  so  that  she  can  sen 
the  rest  of  the  flock.  This  treatment  is 
built  on  the  theory  that  a  ben  is  a  very 
jealous  creature.  Left  in  this  wire,  coop 
she  sees  the  rest  of  the  flock  ranging 
about,  she  becomes  very  restless,  especial¬ 
ly  if  there  is  a  male  in  the  flock  calling 
his  mate  to  partake  of  choice  morsels  of 
food.  Evidently  this  sight  is  too  much 
for  her  brood,  and  if  she  is  kept  well 
supplied  with  food  she  forgets  her  desire 
to  become  a  brooder 
The  plan  followed  tit  the  Experiment 
Station  is  to  put  lie  lien  into  this  kind  of 
a  coop  the  day  after  she  remains  on  the 
nest  and  does  not  lay.  She  is  kept  in 
the  coop  four  days  and  then  released 
The  Tceords  show  that  liens  broken  in 
this  way  promptly  begin  laying  again, 
the  average  time  required  being  10  days. 
Not  only  docs  the  broody  hen  cut  off  the 
egg  yield,  but  by  hanging  on  the  nest  slic 
becomes  responsible  for  many  spoiled 
which  go  to  market  during  the  Sum¬ 
mer.  The  picture  on  page  109  shows  not 
only  the  coop  but  the  egg- producing  or¬ 
gans  of  the  Inm  after  various  periods  of 
broudiness.  The  hen  showing  the  eondi- 
TShe  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
tion  at  No.  1  when  placed  in  the  coop 
begins  laying  again  in  about  10  days. 
After  10  days  of  brooding  we  have  the 
condition  shown  at  No.  2,  and  the  ben 
does  not  lay  again  for  25  days ;  after  21 
days  of  brooding  we  have  the  small  and 
dried  up  appearance  at  No.  3;  35  days 
passed  before  that  ben  began  laying  once 
more.
