Some authorities recommend that powdered oyster shells be placed in every pen. About the beginning of April the keeper begins to collect his eggs, and he will continue to do so for about 276 THE KEEPER'S BOOK a month, and he can turn out his penned birds by the middle of June. By that time he will have his foster- mothers ready. Game-hens are the best, and of these the black-red game-hen is to be preferred above others. If these are not to be obtained, small hens should be selected, of which bu...ff Orpingtons are probably the best mothers. They should all be strong birds, absolutely free from disease. He should carefully retain the eggs of these hens for some eight or ten weeks before the pheasant hatching season, for the purposes of food for the pheasant chicks. The roosting of the game-hens is of importance, care being taken of them as consistently as of the pheasants. The sitting hens must be allowed an early morning run on the wet grass, so that they may damp their breast feathers. This markedly assists in the hatching process.
