Perfect Health or No Eggs
If Biddy is to lay, she must be kept in perfect health, and without exercise that is impossible.
She must live in a house without draughts but in which the air is always fresh by means of perfect ventilation, and she must have sunshine.
Her quarters must be kept clean and sweet, and a good supply of coarse oyster shell, sharp grit, or sifted, hard coal ashes, should be always accessible in quantities.
