Excerpt from Methods of Poultry Management at the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station Poultry hygiene and sanitation will be considered here under seven main heads, as follows I. Housing. 2. Feeding. 3. The Land. 4. Exercise. 5. External Parasites. 6. Disposal of the Dead. 7. Isolation of Sickness. What is said under all of these heads is intended to apply (unless a specific statement to the contrary is made) both to adult birds and to chicks. No discussion of the hygiene of incubation, or of the relative merits Of artificially and naturally hatched chickens will be undertaken here, because there are special subjects falling outside the field of general poultry hygiene.
