Records Show Hot Weather Affects Poultry Here is how hot weather af fects poultry, according to rec ords submitted to the University of Nebraska by one flock owner: During the week of June 3. his flock at the rate of 40 pounds of feed a day per 100 hens and laid at a rate of 61 per cent. During the hot weather in the week of June 10. feed consumption was down to 38 pounds and egg production dropped to 53 per cent. The flock is confined to a well insulated poultry house that is 40 feet wide and has cross ventilation with openings on both south and north walls. According to records, here are some of the things other poul trymen are doing to combat the heat problem: Several use night lights, claiming that the chick ens eat considerable feed and drink a quantity of water dur ing the night. One poultryman, who has sprayed aluminum paint on the outside walls and roof of his poultry house, claims that the surface reflects the heat and reflects the heat and lowers the temperature in the house from 10 to 12 degrees.
