Fatten Before Marketing

Chickens and turkeys grow in relation to the amount of feed they consume. Large frame, good body bloom and healthy condition are essential to successful fattening. Worthless birds should not be sent to market, but should be destroyed whenever they are found in the flock. Hold the birds until they are fully feathered, if possible. Fatten all poultry for two to three weeks before marketing.
