Rye for Poultry; Inducing Sitting 
1. As I expect to raise quite a lot of 
chickens this Spring, I should like to 
know if I could crack rye and corn in the 
feed grinder, and if this would be a satis¬ 
factory feed for chicks. Some say that 
rye is not good for chickens or hens. What 
is your opinion? 2. Is there any way to 
make hens set? f. j. 
1. Rye is good food for hens, though it 
does not seem to be as palatable as other 
grain, and they will not always eat it 
readily. 1 have never known of cracked 
rye being fed to young chicks, but I can 
see no reason why it should not be suit¬ 
able. I should experiment with it rather 
cautiously, however, until 1 had demon¬ 
strated its suitability, or lack of it. 
2. Yes, if you can make hens lay well, 
you will encourage the setting instinct. 
Broodiness seems to follow naturally 
heavy laying, and I can conceive that 
there is some subtle nerve connection that 
orders the second step in reproduction 
after the first has been completed. As 
for any artificial procedure that will bring 
about broodiness upon the part of a hen, 
I know of none. Perhaps the best way 
to he sure of broody hens when they are 
wanted is to own some of the breeds in 
which the setting instinct has not been so 
far lost as it has in Leghorns or other so- 
cajled non-setting varieties. M. B. D.
