Egg-bound Pullets 
I have two pens of S. C. White Leg¬ 
horns. One of two-year-olds I nse as a 
breeding pen. and another of pullets I 
raised from this pen. I am having trouble 
with the pallets only, aud feed 1>oth pens 
exactly alike. About two weeks ago 1 
found two dead when I went to feed them 
in the morning. There were no eggs in 
any of the nests, but the vent was torn 
and bleeding. Since then I have had six 
more affected the same way. I penned 
two up for observation, and kept food 
from them for two days, and gave them 
castor oil. Both laid eggs on the second 
day, hut seemed to strain and bled pro¬ 
fusely from the vent, and seemed in such 
pain that I killed them. Can you sggest 
cause and cure? H. N. M. 
Elsmere, Del. 
These pullets wore probably suffering 
tfrom a condition known as being egg- 
bound. Well-fed pullets of tbe Leghorn 
breed, at least, not infrequently exhibit 
the symptoms that you describe, acting as 
though the eggs formed were too large 
for passage, and bringing about bleeding 
aud even tearing of the vent and oviduct 
and subsequent, death of the birds. If 
protrusion of the oviduct occurs, as it 
frequently does, the other fowls are apt 
to peck at. the protruding red' mass and 
kill the sufferer before she is discovered. 
Quite possibly, too, the nearly excluded 
eggs are eaten at the same lime. I am 
of the opinion, however, that the trouble 
is not so much due to overly large eggs 
as it is to a preceding inflammation of 
the oviduct which dries up the natural 
lubricating secretions and makes extru¬ 
sion of a large egg impossible. I have 
found pullets dead upon the floor of the 
pen with the flesh eaten away by tbe 
others, and two fully formed eggs lodged 
at the end of the oviduct and intact. 
Whether the effort to extrude largo eggs 
produces the inflammation or inflamma¬ 
tion makes it impossibe to extrude large, 
eggs. I am unable to say, but I think that 
the latter explanation of the trouble is 
probably the true one. It is quite 
possible, too. that there is. in these cases, 
some slight, malformation or contraction 
of the oviduct at, the vent which permits 
the descending egg to become pocketed 
and even forced through a ruptured' ovi¬ 
duct. wall into the intcrestinal cavity. 
The fact that this trouble occurs some 
years and is unknown in others makes it 
seem quite possible that there is some 
specific cause for the inflammation that 
we are not aware of. Two years ago I 
lost a large number of fine pullets in this 
way soon after they began to lay. They 
were usually found dead upon the floor 
without, having previously given any no¬ 
ticed symptoms of their trouble. It may 
he an evidence of what, for lack of definite 
knowledge, we call constitutional weak¬ 
ness, or inability to stand the strain of 
heavy feeding and early laying; but. if it 
is, one would expect to sec the flock show¬ 
ing it year after year rather than spas¬ 
modically. 
As the trouble comes on without notice, 
I can give no suggestions for avoiding it. 
Removing a pullet that gave any evidence 
of trouble and feeding her upon soft, lax¬ 
ative food, would seem a rational proced¬ 
ure, and if an impacted egg is found 
within reach, it may he possible to aid in 
its extrusion by simple mechanical means. 
If, however, there is some inflammatory 
trouble behind it, the relief would prob¬ 
ably be hut temporary. m. b. d. 
Chick Rations; Ailing Fowls 
Will you give me recipe for growing 
mash? What does it consist of. and how 
long should I give it to March-hatched 
Leghorns? Do chicks hatched in incubators 
have lice? If so, what is the host, remedy 
to use? What causes excessive green 
diarrhoea- in fowls? They stand with 
tails down, refuse to eat, and die. Feed 
consists of Cornell mash, scratch feed, 
two parts, cracked corn one, wheat and 
one part oats; about twice a week boiled 
oats at noon. What will prevent fowls 
eating hay or gti'ftM that I put in chicken 
houses? They clog up with it. What 
remedy for eating eggs? j. r. 
I know of no better growing mash than 
the Cornell laying mash, which you men- 
! tion. Under three months of age, 20 lbs. 
' of wheat bran may be added to each 100 
lbs. of this laying mash, and under six 
1 weeks of age, the coarser parts of the 
meat scrap and the oat hulls should be 
sifted out. This laying mash consists of 
equal parts, by weight, of wheat bran, 
middlings, cornmeal, ground oats and beef 
scrap. Three pounds- of fine salt are 
added to each 500 lbs. of mash. Incu¬ 
bator-hatched chicks may not be lousy 
when hatched, hut few fail to acquire 
these parasites after they are transferred 
to the ordinary poultry quarters. A little 
simple grease beneath the wings of small 
chicks and some on the top of the head 
will kill the lice upon them. It won’t 
prevent other lice from getting upon them 
later, however, if the chicks are kept in 
lousy quarters or with other lousy fowls. 
Some disease of the digestive organs 
causes the green diurrluoa. Remove such 
fowls quickly from the flock, and clean 
up quarters and utensils. Eating hay or 
straw is caused by a depraved appetite, 
(live green stuff, vegetable food and grit, 
and for this and for egg-eating, give the 
fowls range out of doors. M. B. D.
