THE HENYARD 
Is This the Egg Limit? 
Did you ever see or hear of an egg like 
this one that was laid on March 27 by 
one of my Rhode Island Red pullets? It 
measured 4% in. in length; circumfer¬ 
ence around middle. 7% in..- and around 
mids 10% in. It weighed exactly half a 
pound. The shell was thin, rough and 
creasy, but whole and only slightly bloody 
at one end. Inside, this monster was 
more amazing still. First, there were two 
yolks, firm and unbroken, with a very 
large quantity of white. Floating in this 
was a perfectly formed, smooth, regular 
egg, rather large for a pullet to lay, but 
practically normal. It contained one yolk. 
I have kept hens of many kinds for more 
than 20 years, but never saw, and never 
heard of this phenomenom of an egg with¬ 
in an egg. And the outside one a double- 
yolked one at that! s. T. 
Massachusetts. 
R. N.-Y.—That “lays over” any egg we 
have ever seen. Our readers seem to have 
seen many strange sights and perhaps 
some of them can beat it. 
Ailing Fowls 
Several of my Leghorns in different 
pens have been found on the floor unable 
to stand up. their legs being limp, their 
eyes shut and their heads drooping, re¬ 
maining in this position when picked up. 
Our method has been to place them in a 
coop by themselves, and much to our sur¬ 
prise they are apparently all right the 
next day. Their combs remain bright 
red during this period. We are rather 
desirous to know, if possible, what should 
cause this trouble. We have noticed it 
now for about a month, and every day 
it seems different ones are affected. 
New York. w. ii. g. 
Probably I could say that this was in¬ 
digestion. and get away with it. that be¬ 
ing a very plausible sounding explana¬ 
tion. As a matter of fact, however. I do 
not know what ails these fowls, though I 
strongly suspect that some temporary di¬ 
gestive disturbance, perhaps from eating 
some unsuitable food, is responsible for 
their trouble. A good close of castor oil 
would probably be helpful in tlmse cases, 
and being given on the assumption that 
some deleterious material needed to be 
expelled from the intestinal tract, the suc¬ 
cess of the treatment would, of course, 
prove the correctness of the diagnosis. 
At any rate, that is the sole foundation 
of the reputation gained by countless 
remedies for the ills of both human and 
lower animals. The remedy is given, the 
patient recovers: how can it be otherwise 
than that the remedy turned the trick? 
M. B. D. 
Chick Feeds 
1. I have some infertile eggs from in¬ 
cubator on hand, and Farmers’ Bulletin 
624 suggests dry bread crumbs may oe 
mixed with hard-boiled eggs, making one- 
fourth of mixture eggs, or rolled oats 
may be used in place of bread crumbs. 
Should these be fed moistened and will 
water do to moisten? Can sour milk be 
used for first few days and then use 
water for mixing? 2 I read that feed¬ 
ing too large a proportion of coarse feed 
containing nnic-h fiber, making it slow of 
assimilation, results in stunted growth 
i and the trouble known as “long wings.” 
What are the feeds containing the fiber, 
and in what proportion may they be fed? 
New York. e. w. 
1. In general it L safer to give dry 
food to ehieks than it is to feed them 
moistened stuffs of any kind. Moist 
mashes undoubtedly promote quick 
growth, for the reason that much more 
wet food than dry will be consumed, but. 
for the same reason, digestive disturb¬ 
ances when wet foods are given are more 
apt to occur. I think it preferable to 
give not more than one meal of moistened 
j food a clay and only as much of this as 
the chicks will very quickly clean up. 
Chickens out upon free field range may 
be fed much more heavily than those that 
are kept in semi-confinement, and moist 
I mashes are less likely to iqiset their di¬ 
gestion. When limited quarters must be 
utilized, dry feeding will be found safest 
for young chicks, though drink, in the 
form of skim-milk or water, should be 
always before them. Boiled eggs with 
bread crumbs or rolled oats need no 
moistening, and either skim-milk or water 
may be used with other foods when 
moistening is required. Sour skim-milk 
is a very desirable food for chicks from 
the time that they are hatched. 
2. I ch> not know what feeds contain 
so much fiber as to produce “long wings.” 
but I do know that there is a great deal 
of mock scientific hunk written about 
chick foods. The ordinary grains, corn, 
wheat and oats, with all their derivatives, 
will be found suitable for chick foods; 
other grains and seeds may also be 
utilized. Oat hulls should be removed 
from ground oats if they are to be fed 
to very young chicks; there is too much 
fiber about them. Oat hulls are not a 
commonly accepted chick food, however, 
and the fiber in corn or wheat ueed worry 
no one. Hay and sawdust also contain 
too much fiber to make* them suitable for 
chick feeding: use them for feeding and 
bedding the family horse. u. u. f*.
