The first of the small images is a photograph of a group of hens outside a small, wooden hen house. The second small image is a photograph of a hen with brown feathers. The third small image is a photograph of two hens in a straw lined nesting box. The final small image is a depiction of a Union Flag. text: [Arabic text] G.P.D. 377/38/19 [British poultry and egg production. No. 2. Good laying hens need clean housing. The large picture shows a good laying hen. She has a well-balanced head, prominent and bright eyes; her comb and wattles are full, red and resembling wax. A long, deep breast-bone, a broad back, and fine legs covered with smooth scales are other characteristics. Her feathers are tight to her body and she walks with an air of pride and confidence. Compare her with the smaller picture. This hen is a poor layer. Her eyes are dull, her comb and wattles small and pale, she is languid and does not stand up with confidence. Hens like a clean house to live in, and one that can be moved from place to place is preferable. It should be airy, but not draughty, and be cleaned out regularly. British farmers keep poultry not only for the high egg-yield, but also because of the rich plant food contained in the manure. The nesting-box floors are always covered with clean straw, for a hen likes a secluded and comfortable 'home' if she is to produce her average of four eggs per week. For victory.] Object: hen house, nesting box, flag | Subjects: | poster | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=5161... | Go to resource |
