Worm-Free Chicks Safer From Colds

Danger of colds in the poultry flock will be lessened by keeping the birds free from worms. Colds and 1 worms often run hand in hand, since worms lower body resistance. Watch the droppings and examine the intestinal tract of birds dressed for eating. If worms are found, treat the flock with individual worm capsules. A number of satisfactory worm' cxpellers are now available on the market. After treatment, thoroughly cleanse and disinfect the poultry house. Remove and burn all droppings or scatter ahem in a faraway field. Also keep the birds confined for 36 hours. Birds with colds should be protected against drafts and overcrowding, and fed a balanced ration.
