Clean up the Hen House
Every hen house should be clean-
ed before putting in the pullet crop.
A good thorough cleaning consists of
removing the litter and all poultry
house fixtures, such as mash hoppers,
drinking fountains and the like, then
flushing the walls, ceilings, dropping
boards and floor, scraping loose any
dirt that may have a tendency to
stick. After the house has been thor-
oughly cleaned it is ready for a coat
of whitewash. This will improve the
appearance of your hen house, make
it much lighter for the birds and at
the same time help to kill parasties
and disease germs. A common prac-
tice is to add a pint of disinfectant
to a gallon of whitewash. Clean
ccmfortable quarters for the pullets
go a long way toward increased pro-
duction during the winter months.
