Defective  Wall;  Feed  for  Molting  Hens 
1.  What  can  I  do  to  a  wall  that  is 
bulging  out?  I  think  it  has  been  built 
about  two  years.  The  coop  was  built  on 
Cornell  plan.  .  The  length  is  40  ft.,  one- 
half  of  which  is  bending  out.  It  is  made 
of  cement.  2.  What  is  best  feed  for  lay¬ 
ing  hens  that  are  losing  all  their  feathers? 
Neshanic,  N,  J.  E,  w# 
1.  As  you  give  no  particulars  about  the 
construction,  of  this  wall,  other  than  to 
say  that  it  is  built  of  concrete,  I  cannot 
tell  why  it  is  bulging  out  or  how  the 
trouble  may  be  remedied.  Any  local  car¬ 
penter  should  be  able  to  give  you  practic¬ 
able  suggestions. 
2.  Laying  hens  that  are  losing  all  their 
feathers  at  this  season  of  the  year  are 
probably  molting,  and,  if  they  are  only 
beginning  to  molt  and  are  still  laying  in 
late  October,  they  have  probably  made  a 
good  record  in  egg  production  for  the 
year.  The  laying  mash  and  scratch  grain 
should  be  continued  during  molt,  there 
being  no  occasion  for  changing  the  ration. 
A  good  formula  for  such  a  mash  is  equal 
parts,  by  weight,  of  ground  corn,  or  corn- 
meal,  ground  oats,  wheat  bran,  wheat 
middlings,  gluten  feed  and  beef  scrap. 
Scratch  grain  should  consist  of  about  half 
cracked  corn  or  wheat,  and  the  balance  in 
other  grains  that  may  be  available.  Hens 
will  eat  but  a  limited  quantity  of  whole 
oats,  however,  unless  they  are  boiled, 
steamed  or  sprouted.  M.  b.  d.
