To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Because the reproductive instinct has been stimulated by the hot weather. Because she has laid her litter out. Because she has become fat and sluggish. It is evident that if we can reproduce these conditions we can hasten incubation. Old hens make the best sitters, because they are not so active as young ones. The treatment of hens that are kept for sitters should be radically different from the treatment of hens that are kept for layers. They should be confined more closely and fed differently.... Corn should form an important part of their food. As soon as a hen shows symptoms of broodiness she should be encouraged. She should be taken at night and placed in a nest prepared for her in a dark, quiet place. This nest should contain china eggs, and should be covered with a burlap bag to make it dark. The next morning the bag should be removed and the hen let out for food and water. If she goes back it is safe to entrust her with real eggs. 37 THE MANAGEMENT OF BROODY HENS. I am more and more convinced that the management of broody hens is the key to the whole situation where a big egg record is desired, and am surprised that so little attention has been paid to the subject.
