. The growing pullet Is a creature of
habit, thoroughly addicted to regular
ity and vigorously opposed to disturb
ance and unusual commotion. It is
essential for the good of the flock In
its entirety that the pullets should
grow and improve like clockwork,
from the time of hatching to maturity.
Laying is often retarded by seemingly
trivial disturbances, such as moving
the fowl from place to place and
changing the makeup of the ration.
In order to Insure early eggs see to
It that the growth of the pullets is
not retarded in any manner whatever.
Almost without exception the pullet

ment that checked growth results in
retarded laying, comes the fact that

conditions, however, is only one of
many factors which may stunt the nor
mal growth of a pullet and defer her
entrance to the laying class.
As a rule, egg production begins at
or before the cessation of the pullet’s
physical growth and development of
the reproductive organs.
Generally,
Influences which hinder growth also
operate to delay egg production for
several months. Any disturbance af
fecting the habits, quarters or com
fort of the pullet at any stage of her
life may retard laying. Shifting the
birds from place to place and abrupt
changes in the diet often, disturb the
fowl enough to retard laying. In fact,
poultry fanciers who desire to keep

often use this means of keeping them
from laying. On the average, pullets
