take it from me you need have no hesitation in answering lien and chickens i am sure anyone who lives on a farm will agree with me but those who dont may wonder why welt ril tell you hens and chickens absolutely re fuse to cooperate when you try to make them more comfortable they will come back again and again to the first home they knew the brood er house you can shut them out and chase thera off to the nice new airy pen jou have prepared for them and in half an hour they will all be back to the brooder house squatting all around outside if they cant get in side several wek ago when our brood er house became too crowded wo took tho roosters away and put them in another pen partner said t guess if we keep them shut up for a day or two and then let them out again they will go back all right but i gave a disgusted sort of grunt in anti cipation of what i was sure would happen and it did after a week wo let the rooster out and that night every lost one of them was back in the brooder house while partner was milking i had the grand job of catching and carrying flftyone roosters back to where they belonged then we had a pen of yearling hens up in the barn they have been shut up in that same pen over six months then came moulting time and we thought w might do tho hens good to have the run of the farm for awhile so we let the hens out did they go hack to their pen nt nichtt well about half or them tho others went to roost nil over u place down in the stable on the manure spreader in another henpen and even in the brooder house from which i had so recently chased the roosters to make more room for tho pullets this went on for nhout three weeks finally i went the rounds one night and carried hens back to their pen and believe mo when x was through with the job i snirito those hlddles very emphatically ns i fcliut the doornow you can just stny thore we also have trouble but of a different kind with the pullets they would much rather sleep on tho floor than on the roosts after the roost ers had been taken nway there was plenty or room for all the putlou to root in comfort but would they do it in the daytime yes but at night half of them were on tho roosta anil the other half hunched up to gether on the floor i tried picking them up and putting them on the roost but that was no good ah faut as i put one bird up another bird jumped down so i tried to outwit them the next night i collected old ktovo pipes and odd and ends of wire netting nnd i spread them nil around on the floor making the place as un comfortable as i could and it work ed that night there were far more birds on the roosti the next night fctlll more and last night there were only live on the floor so i really feel as if i hud done something of course i dont suppose veople who runvarogulnr poultry farm have quite ax much trouble as we do be muse they would have their imllets and coikoreu in separate pens right from the btnrt but when ou keep poultry jutt as a sideline m we do or as u nttessary evil and have onl one brooder stove to work with so that oti hne to keep mixed chickens hi one pen until they are old enough to do without artificial heat then you tire bound to run into some kind of trouble so ou people whose only know ledge of poultry is eating egs and thicken pleae remember that it meant a lot of work before that thicken was ready for the oven and the hen that laid that egg you hal for breakfast was fed and cared for for live months before she laid her first egg nnd that a very small one it took a week or two before her eggs were large enough to be
