Success of any flock will depend upon getting the most eggs from a given number of hens. In many cases there will be some outstanding feature that will give you the needed information, such as a net that will lay in a nest where she will be seen every time she lays, or some other equally reliable condition that will settle it for a particular hen, but for the great number we must have A genera! test and be able to apply it so as to make sure we are not feeding hens that eat without paying board. When we come to realize just what A layer pays, and what it costs to feed a hen that does not lay, the interest will become strong enough to hold one's attention. There are many ways by which people tell the laying hens. Some will' examine the hens every morning before they get off the roosts.
If a hen will he ready to lay, the egg may be easily felt in the cloaca where the shell has been formed. By keeping a record for one week we shall have a good idea of the laying condition of the flock. In order to use this method we should make this examination for one week the first of each month. To make such a test we take the hen in the left hand and turn her 80 the right side will be down. With the right hand we may feel from below by coming up slowly to the end of the pelvic bone.
If an egg is present it may be felt as a hard lump just beyond that pelvic bone. If the egg is not there it will not likely be expelled that day. The thing we should bear in mind is to find some way by which we may tell the layer from the non-layer. We must keep only the laying hens. The others may be profitable market hens if we fatten them but they can do nothing for us as layers.
We must solve the problem for ourselves. ARE THE HENS LAYING? If we are not gathering nearly a fifty per cent egg yield, and that means nearly half as many eggs every day as we have hens, we should begin to inquire what the cause may be. 1. Have we too many hens for the room we have, or have we started with more Than our efforts will care for nicely 2. Have we bought an equipment too expensive for our room and are we spending our time and money on equipment and arrangement instead of the stock and its comfort 3.
