Why Cull??With feed high
price and in many cases diflicul
get, it is of great importance to
the poultry flock. Culling st
two purposes: First, it insures
the feed will be consumed by the
ter-producing hens, thereby lnc;
ing the profit. Second, it mak<
possible to save those best suited
breeders, both on account of I
better production and on accouc
their superior strength and vit?
qualities so essential to layers if
are to stand up under the severe i
of heavy laying. Under war c<
t'ons it is imperative that the
producers be weeded out; the sla
hen must go. Weedine out the
hens gives those left more and a
tor chance. Where trap nestin
practiced, culling is a comparati
s tuple process.
When to cull.?Culling shouh
continuous throughout the year,
continuous culling should consis
weeding out, when discovered,
hen which is sick, which is very

The whole flock should also

of dividing them into two lots,
