These discoveres—about the color preferences of chickens have been made by Dr. Fred Jerome and Mr. Frank Hurnick, Poultry Science Department, Un- iversity of Guelph, who are con- ducting color research projects on chickens under the sponsor- ship of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. Several groups of 150 day- old Comb White Leghorns and the same number of Columbian Ply- mouth Rocks are being tested separately for color preference. Mr. Hurnick has built four hous-' ing areas around a central, square, neutral-colored housing zone . Each of the four areas has its own feed and water units, and each area and the equipment in it is painted a different color. The central area can be ver- tically lifted and dropped. At preset intervals the central zone, which houses all the chickens, is lifted, allowing the chickens free access to the colored zones. The central section is then drop- ped and the chickens in each zone counted. The experiment is repeated several times a day and an average of the number of chicks moving into different colored zones is tabulated. Results, after 12 days, showed a distinct preference in both breeds for the yellow (32.7%) and green (26.2%) areas, with red (22.7%) and blue (18.4%) taking third and fourth place. Other color experiments using hens showed the same re- sults, Hens preferred to nest in yellow and green nesting houses and, if in cages, to feed from yellow and green units, or from units combining these two colors. One recent experiment fea- tured feeding troughs colored in combinations of the four colors. The hens came into contact with a different color combination each day, never seeing the same combination twice. The most popular combination of all was one that contained all four colors. Mr. Hurnick said that these research projects could lead to having houses, cages, feeders, and nesting units in colors that would have positive' effects on egg production and feed consump- tion. He added that many other factors besides color are taken into account during the tests. Day-old chicks are used in the experimept because they have no color experience. Zones are moved to see if positional factors play a part in the chick- ens' mobility. Genetic factors are sometimes traceable through the tests. By testing different generations of related birds, hereditary color preferences can be spotted. The study Will continue until a reliable estimate of color pre- ference in hens under different conditions and at different times of the year is available for prac- tical use. • • • , • sid A I" 0 EVJE 'S :LLER for DIAMC:ND. , , JEWELLERY.
