 l REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROJECT  
The laying flock project is for 4-H boys and girls who can  
take over the management of the laying iiock on the farm. This   t]
means that the club member shall feed and water the hens, keep   I;
the hen house clean and comfortable, see that the hens are free  ° U
from lice and mites, gather the eggs daily, sell them at least once Q 
a week, and keep a record of all expenses and income. The  Q
parents will furnish feed, hens, and equipment for the project.  {
The equipment should include a satisfactory laying house. To  
meet requirements the old house may have to be remodeled.   8
The club member should receive a certain agreed-upon pro-  I i
portion of the income from the flock. The proportion suggested   I
is that the club member receive 20 to 25 percent of the gross  i_ I
income from eggs and l0 percent of the income from the sale   »,,·, 8
of chickens. Gross income includes the estimated value of eggs   F
eaten or used for hatching and of chickens used, as well as  f  
receipts for those actually sold. The division should be made  is I
after each sale. This is a suggested division, but any other agreed  A
upon may be used. By careful management the flock can be  
made to produce sufficient profit so that both the club member  1 _
and parents will benefit from this cooperative arrangement.  1  
The County Agricultural Agent will be glad to consult with  `.
you on problems of culling, feeding, house remodeling, or dis-   I
ease and parasite control. _  IQ I
A Word to Parents   I
Your cooperation with your boy or girl in this project  p`
will not only create an interest in poultry but, if properly  $
done, will increase your own income because of improved  i
management. By giving your boy or girl the entire responsi-  
bility of flock management you encourage him or her to  
assume greater responsibility. l

  LAYING FLOCK MANAGEMENT
 32 By STANLEY Caron and C. E. Haiuus
an   Profitable egg production depends greatly on the management
iis  A? the laying flock receives. Feeding. housing, culling, and disease and y
ep   parasite control are important points to consider in securing maxi- l l
·ee  t mum economical production. M
ice 3  t
`he  { FEEDING i
   I Rations.- For good egg production the flock must be fed a bal- y
  anced ration. Meat scrap, soybean oilmeal, or milk must be used in y ,
T0-   addition to home-grown grains for best results. One of the following   i
md  ]_ rations may be used. Select one system of feeding and continue with  
y   it; don’t switch from one feed to another abruptly. All feeds should  
gi;   be kept before the hens at all times. In addition plenty of clean water
V   and ground limestone or oystershell should be available to the hens
ggs   all the time. On rainy or cold days, keep the hens in the henhouse; 4
ag;   they will eat better and thrive better than if they were out in the .
d  X weather.
E;  * Ration 1: Skimmilk or buttermilk, shelled corn. i _
bei   Ration 2: Meat scrap, shelled corn. Six level tablespoonfuls of
 ,_ Salt should be added to each 10 pounds of meat scrap (or 2 pounds t
_[h   of salt to each 100 pounds of meat scrap).
gi   Ration 3: Ground corn, 4 pounds; mill feed or ground wheat or
is-  ft lJ?1l`l€y, 4 pounds; meat scrap, 2 pounds (1 pound 0f meat scrap may
  be replaced by l pound of soybean oilmeal); and salt, 3 level table- ‘
  SPOOHflllS. Mix thoroly and feed in a hopper, with shelled COI`I1 ifi
  another hopper.
ject   Ration. 4: A commercial laying mash. .
gl-[y   Rfltiion 5: Corn (or corn, wheat and oats) and a c0mmefCi&l O1`
ved   hOU1€‘-made supplement mash containing 26 to 32 pe1‘C€Ht protein.
nsf.   li€€}> both the grain and the protein supplement in hoppers before
. to   the hens at ali times, Do rmt limit the amount of grain fed.
 _ Gfeen feed.— Green feed should be a part of all rations. Rye,
y wheat, or barley are good green feeds, especially in the fall, winter,
I,  and spring. When hens must be kept up, feed them liberally alfalfa
 E or lespedeza hay in racks.

CULLING  
To make a profit a high rate of production must be maintained.  
This means that nonlayers must be culled at regular intervals. After  
the pullets have come into production in the fall, culling can be  
started. Remove crow—headed and unthrifty pullets. During the  
winter, spring, and summer follow the "Guide to Culling Hens", on   _
page 7, in deciding which hens to keep in the flock. Check the flock   (
every 2 or 3 weeks for nonproducers.

MAKE THE LAYING HOUSE COMFORTABLE   f<
A comfortable house is essential for satisfactory egg production  
and is absolutely necessary for good fall and winter production. A   P
good laying house need not be expensive. On many farms there are  
houses that can be converted easily and cheaply to satisfactory laying   b
quarters. just a little change, such as cutting an opening at the pr0p€1`  
place or putting in a dropping pit may be all that is necessary t0   d
make an existing house into a good, comfortable laying house. A  j
suggestion of what can be done with an old house is given in Figs.  E h
3, 4, and 5.  
In checking your hen house for needed remodeling, or in building  L
a new one, keep in mind the following essentials for proper poultfY  .,
housing:   H
l. The house should be faced away from prevailing winds and 50  < tl
that it will get as much direct sunlight as possible (facing south, OY A_  j
east is usually best in Kentucky). V U
2. To give enough room for the hens, there should be 3% sqnnfc I  (
feet of floor space for Leghorns and 4 square feet per hen for [hi?   k
