THE HENYARD 
] Poultry Problems 
bought 000 day-old chieks last Spring 
(White Logliorn), and to prevent white 
diarrlima was advised to use nux vomica. 
I put one drop to a quart of water the 
first d.ay, and added a drop more each 
day until they were getting 1(] drops to 
the quart; then I decreased in .same way. 
'J'here were no diarrlKca case.s. 2. How can 
I prevent feather pulling? To this dav 
they love feathers and will eat most of 
those that fly around; in fact, they ac¬ 
tually pick them out when the others are 
eating mash. Some are pretty bare be¬ 
low vent. The feather eating has caused 
them to get crop-bound quite often, too. fl. 
What remedy do you use for crop-bound 
chickens? I hav’e succeeded quite well liy 
giving them muriatic acid, four drops to a 
glass of water, and let that he the only 
drinking water given. I n.sually force 
them to take some through a dropper, 
theu massage crops and try to do it at 
least twice a day. In three or four days 
the crop is empty and they are ready to 
run again. 4. I am having a little trouble 
now with sever.al lame layers. What do 
you think is wrong? One of them, I am 
sure, has been crop-bound, ('an the acid 
have anything to do with it? I have rnb- 
lied them with arnica, hut it does not help 
as it should. Can you give a cause for 
the lameness and suggest :i remedy? Are 
you letting your chiekeus run outdoors 
now? We still have patches of ice and 
snow here. I have 228 pullets, hatched 
last April; week ending Marcli 0 they 
averaged 114 eggs daily; week ending 
March 16 they averaged 107 c'ggs <hiily. 
No change has Ixien imide in feeding. 
AVhv tlie droi) in eggs? E. w. 
Ulster I‘ark. N. Y. 
1. It is not likely that the nux vomica 
had anytliing 1o d<t Avith failni’c of Avhite 
diarrhoea to develop in your chicks, that 
disease being due to a germ transmitted 
from the mother hen, or from otlier dis- | 
eased chicks. Nux vomica is not a germ 
killing drug. It is harmless, however, in 
the amount you gave, and acts, if it has 
any effect at all, as a bitter tonic and 
stimulant. You were fortunate in not 
having true white diarrhoea or the other 
digestiA'e and diarrhoeal disorders charac¬ 
terized by a whitish discharge, 
2. Feather pulling in young chicks is 
the result of a depraA'ed appetite, the 
e;inse of A\diich is not very definitely 
known. The taste of blood often makes 
young chicks unmanageable and they he- 
come cannibalistic monsters. The soft, 
bloody tips of the feathers are Avhat they 
are after. They should Imvi' meat food in 
some form, chareoal, and, most important 
of all, freedom to range over the ground. 
Close confinement to brooders is respon¬ 
sible for many cases of feather pulling, 
toe jiecking, etc. When you can get your 
chicks out iijion the ground, even if only 
in limited runs, many of your troubles 
will dis;ippear. Get them out early. It 
is one of the serious disadvantage.s of very 
early hatching that young chicks have to 
he kept eonfined within doors so long, 
('on 1 act Avith the earth, and, pos.sihly, the 
dirt and mineral matters th;it tliey get in 
scratching and picking in it seem to sup¬ 
ply a need tlnit. if not gratified, leads to 
eannibalistic Imhits. Liberty and dirt are 
two essentials to suceessfni chick rearing; 
give tliem both as c.-irly and in as llher;il 
quantities as possible. 
8. When not due to stuffing Avith indi¬ 
gestible matter, like dried griiss, feathers, 
etc., and possibly even then, getting crop- 
l)onnd_ is probably the result of loss of 
tone in the nniscnl;ir structure of the 
croi). Your method of emptying the crop 
is good; the foAvls should then he fed upon 
soft food until their digestiA'e*organs hiive 
recovered their natur:il functions. Wlieth- 
or the muriatic acid is of any help or 
not, I cannot say. 1 liaA'c less faith in 
drugging than you evidently hav<>. :iii(l I 
have iirobably been responsible for nioia* 
of it than you Avill cA'er he. 
4. Lameness suddenly ai»pearing in 
members of the flock lias usually been as¬ 
cribed to rheumatism, hut with no jiosi- 
tive evidence. It has this in common Avith 
rheumatism, as it apjiears in luimans, 
that it comes on suddenly and often dur¬ 
ing d;imp, inclement Aveatber. Whatever 
the eanse. it usually disappears of itself, 
and I knoAA’^ of no Avaj*^ of preventing it 
otlier than keeping the foAvls under gen- 
er:illy healthful conditions. Don’t he too 
much distressed if you eaunot ascertain 
the cause of “rheumatism” iu fowls ; no¬ 
body knoAA's- the cause of it in humans, 
and noht dy kuoAVs A’ery much about the 
nature of it. 
My home in Tioga Co., N. Y'., is in 
about the same latitude as yours and my 
foAvls have had outdoor range since the 
melting of the snoAV partially uncovered 
the ground. I disposed of :ill my foAvls 
e.vcept my breeders late last Fall and 
shall raise but a limited number of ehu-ks 
this season. Small flocks. Avitli the non¬ 
layers freiiiumtly and rigidly <mlled out, 
seem to me the only sahmtiou of the ]k»uI-
