POULTRY NOTES.
Disease is a most fatal thing in poultry keeping, because once it appears there is generally no way of fighting it. Prevention is the only safe policy. Because you have succeeded with a few fowls kept as a hobby, do not let this induce you to run into a large undertaking. The only safe course is to expand the plant as your knowledge increases. Poultry thrive and yield good returns in so many different styles of houses that it is impossible to provide a plan to suit all locations and conditions.
Now that the chickens are halfgrown it is a mistake to neglect them. To obtain the best results they require care and special feeding until they reach their full stage of development.
