. The call of the hen; or, The science of selecting and breeding poultry for egg-production, by the American poultry school. Poultry. THE CALL OF THEi HEN. 45 one finger in depth of abdomen; two fingers out of condition shows she has shrunken two fingers in depth of abdomen, three fingers out of condition shows she has shrunken three fingers in depth of Fig. 20âShowing hen one finger out of condition. You will note that the flesh appears slightly shrunken away from the breast-bone. When the thumb and forefinger are placed as in the cut, about }/% inch from the front of the breast-bone, the flesh will be below the breast-bone, as shown by the mark on finger in Fig. 23. This would indicate that the hen was one finger less capacity. If three-fingers now, she would be four fingers capacity when in condition, etc. Fig. 21 is still thinner, as reader can see by the breast-bone. We call her two fingers out of condition. p H< ' *Jk \ ;-sT _J%?' ]j2 ' â ' f â¢"'**'â ' JrJm Fig. 21âShowing hen two fingers out of condition. The flesh is shrunken away from the breast-bone to about the depth indicated by the middle line on the finger in Fig. 23, which is about the middle of the first joint. This shows that she is two fingers less in abdominal depth than when in good condition. Fig. 22 is still thinner. This we call three fingers out of condition, and is about as thin as a hen usually gets, if there is any chance for her ever being of any 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 Hogan, Walter, d. 1921; American Poultry School.
