Small Worlds
Around Us
By Lynn M. Watkins
Chicken-raisers Have
Fly-Killers in Barnyard
It's funny it took us so long
to be sure or to find out what
some old-time chicken raisers
knew many years ago. Pos
sibly the old-timer never put
the proverbial two and two
together, but the results were
satisfactory so he continued
the practice, without know
ing the value of the experi
ment. Neither did the old-timer
apparently know that the
the male chicks' were the ones
that ate most, or all of the
fly larvae. Since then there
has been a' lapse of many'
years during which time tons
of poison spray .have . been
sprayed on and around chick
en yards.
Spray was expensive, as
well as. posing a certain
amount of danger, both to
chickens and to humans. Less
effective were 'fly paper, elec
tric flytraps and various other
"de-buggers." Unfortunately,
around a henyard, even a
modern one, there are condi
tions conductive to the breed
ing and prevalence of flies.
Cause Discomfort
Besides being germ-carriers,
the flies cause no end of dis
comfort to a laying hen. She
just can't do her best at egg
production'- when she has a
hundred or so- flies buzzing
around her head. The egg-producer,
of course, is the hen
herself, hut the man who
owns her is tremendously in
terested in the number ol eggs
she lays.
The expenditure of large
amounts of money for chem
ical or mechanical bug con
trol, let alone the labor in
volved, caused the poultry
raiser to desire a better and
cheaper method of bug con
trol. Then someone noticed that
where the were numbers of
baby chicks the fly population
was noticeably less. Closer
observation revealed the start
ling fact that the baby chicks
were busy eating something,
always present near the hen-
yards, and that something
turned out to be fly-larvae and
fly-pupae.
Better Than Insecticide '
Here, in the form of a baby
chick, was an effective fly
destroyer that worked con
stantly, and was safer than
any insecticide. Further stud
ies revealed the fact that
male chicks were' more active',
and had a greater appetite for
the larvae than the female
chicks. Here was an added bo
nus, -for male chicks, being
less productive than female
chicks, could be bought from
the hatchery for a little or
nothing.
So, the cycle has almost
completed a full turn. Here
in this enlightened age sud
denly we discover what a few
old-timers did a half century
ago - that a group of male
chicks would destroy more fly
larvae and pupae cheaper and
quicker than all the poison
sprays and mists.
Peculiar, that so many
things work so effectively and
satisfactorily.
