Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II. GENERAL TREATMENT. If the poultry-keeper desires to have his own breeding stock, the number of hens allowed to each cock must be limited. No absolute rule can be laid down, as a good deal will depend on the breed and the range provided. Some breeds are more fertile than others. No more than four (or six at the very utmost) hens should be allowed to the Spanish cock; while Houdan cocks, being the most active of all breeds, may with safety have nine or ten hens.

A little observation will very readily enable anyone to see how matters stand. Young cocks are more vigorous than old ones, but in no case should they be kept after exceeding their fourth year. When fowls are not kept for breeding purposes, one cock may be allowed to run with twenty-five hens. It is quite true that cocks are not necessary to increase, or even keep up the laying powers of the hens, as it has been proved that hens lay as well without them as with them. But pullets come more rapidly to maturity, and look smarter if, after they have attained their fifth or sixth month, a cock is permitted to run with them. In an unlimited range the presence of a cock keeps the hens together. Eggs for setting, placed in a basket full of sawdust or meal, with the large end downwards, will be kept in good...
