Excerpt from Poultry Breeding: A Complete Guide for Keepers of Poultry Animal feeds - The hen is a meat-eater. A bul letin by Prof. James Dryden, of the Oregon Experiment Station, gives the following concerning animal feeds for fowls: Animal feed of some kind is necessary to fowls to maintain their health and vigor and make them pro ductive of either meat or eggs. A knowledge of this has done more to increase the poultryman's profits than any other thing in poultry feeding. The scarcity of eggs in winter is largely due to lack of animal feed. The fact that when chickens are given the liberty of fields in sum mer they find feed in the form of bugs, angleworms, grasshoppers and other insects, escapes the notice of the farmer, and in the winter he does not see the necessity of feeding it. In most parts of the country in winter chickens are unable to obtain animal feed in the fields, especially in sections where snow covers the ground. In western Oregon, with its mild winters, they find many angleworms, especially during the rainy season. But in most sections, if not in all, fowls must be liberally fed with animal feed for best results. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
