Mating of Poifltry The same principles of mating apply to poultry as to the four- footed stock; therefore for breed- ing purposes a cock may be al- lowed ten to twenty hens, more than that number is unprofitable, the large percentage of infertile eggs complained of by many farmers is due to the overtaxing of the procreative powers of the cock. Pullets and year old hens are the most profitable layers, the breading hens should be one year old or upwards; it is not advisable to hatch from puUet eggs. Ducks are usually paired or two ducks to one drake; the female may lay as many as 40 to SO eggs in a season. The gander is usually given three geese, who lay two settings of eggs in a season; geese do not lay until one year old. Turkeys are slower in com- ing to maturity than other fowl, the tom (male turkey) should be from two to three years of age before mating to get the best results, five turkey hens are al- lowed to a tom; an interesting fact about the mating of turkeys is that one visit suffices to fer- tilise all the eggs (10 to 20) laid by the turkeys at one period, it is quite common for the turkey hen to lay twice in a season, the second lot are rarely Dr. C)aik*8 Poultry tonic makes hens more Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Martin, Bole & Wynne Co.
