THE HENYARD 
Everted Oviduct 
I have about 425 W. Leghorn hens, of 
which 225 are pullets. I have lost 10 of 
them from everted oviducts. I do not 
know if it is a disease or not. My old 
hens do not seem to be troubled at all; 
just the pullets. For a scratch feed I 
feed wheat, corn, oats, and for the dry 
mash ground oats, bran, middlings, corn- 
meal, beef scrap, and cabbage for a green 
feed. e. w. 
Albion, N. Y„ 
This is rather an evidence of lack of 
constitutional vigor than a disease. Many 
pullets fail to stand up under heavy feed¬ 
ing and laying, displaying these disorders 
of the oviduct in the Spring, when egg 
production is at its height. The exact 
condition present is probably what is 
called eversion of the oviduct, but accom¬ 
panying it is inflammation of the egg 
passages and, in some cases, obstruction 
from being “egg-bound.” Efforts to ex¬ 
trude overly large eggs may bring about 
the condition in pullets beginning to lay. 
It is not to be expected, of course, that 
old fowls that have passed through at 
least one season of laying should be as 
subject to disorders of the egg-producing 
organs as are young pullets. 
Any birds displaying symptoms of such 
troubles should be removed from the flock 
and given Epsom salts as a physic, a 
small teaspoonful to each bird. This 
should be dissolved in a little water and 
given in solution or mixed with moist 
mash. The ration should then be made 
lighter, with plenty of green stuff added. 
If the inflammation and protrusion of the 
oviduct, providing that the case has gone 
that far, does not subside under such care, 
I know of nothing that can be done. An 
everted oviduct may, if need he, he 
cleansed and returned after oiling, but it 
is a question whether a bird needing a 
great amount of surgical care is worth 
keeping. M. b. d. 
Poor Hatch 
I have had such bad luck in hatching 
a few chicks that I write to you to ask if 
I did wrong to keep but one male and 29 
or 30 hens. Last year I had one male, 
and they hatched better than this year, 
but not extra well. A friend told me they 
had about 30 hens last year and one male, 
and they never had eggs hatch better. 
My hens are R. I. Reds and White Wy¬ 
andottes, and the male is a beautiful, big 
Wyandotte. E. b. w. 
Otisville, N. Y. 
Much would depend upon the vigor of 
the birds and the conditions under which 
they were kept. One male to 20 to 30 
hens of the lighter breeds should be suffi¬ 
cient, but it is usually recommended that 
flocks of the heavy breeds should not con¬ 
tain more than from 15 to 20 hens. If 
the flock has been out upon free range, 
fertility is apt to be higher than when the 
birds are confined. Sometimes, too, there 
are a few hens in the flock that are chiefly 
responsible for infertile eggs and, if these 
can be detected and removed by marking 
the. eggs from individual fowls as they 
are placed in the incubator, loss will be 
prevented. M. b. d. 
Cutting Wing to Prevent Flying 
Will you tell me exactly how to cut 
hens’ wings so they cannot fly over the 
fence? Will it prevent flying to their 
perch? mrs. E. M. c. 
Alexander, N. Y. 
Directions for this operation were 
given in the June 2, 1923, issue of this 
paper. Upon the front side of the outer 
joint of the wing you may observe a ten¬ 
don just beneath the skin. Make a short 
incision over this tendon and lengthwise 
with it. This to expose the tendon. Then 
slip a small, sharp blade beneath the 
tendon and cut through it. This would 
do, if there were no danger of the tendon 
growing together again, but there is. So 
cut through the tendon again a very short 
distance from the first cut and remove 
the section between the cuts. This will 
permanently distable the hen, as far as 
flying over a fence is concerned, hut will 
leave the wing useful otherwise, m. b. d.

low cases.” Clerk: “What size?” Cus¬ 
tomer: “I don’t know, but I wear a size 
seven hat.”—Chaparral.
