condition a good hen may lay and shed feathers at the same time during the moult but generally she is in a decline and a loss of production and body weight may be expected chief among the common errors of feeding is the supply of too much whole grain without sufficient mash and cren feed roughage the result is a badly balanced diet seriously de ficient in minerals and proteins the approximate dally feed require ment for a hen in moderate produc tion is four ounces plus all the green feed she will eat of this amount the scratch grain portion should approxi mate two ounces under the pressure
