Eggs will absorb odors from onions, kerosene, and similar products if stored near them for any length of time, VPI poultrymen say.
Damage and lowering of grade also results if eggs are stored too long in warm atomospheres, or if given rough treatment.
During summer months, the experts say, eggs should be gathered three times a day and stored in a cool, moist place away from anything that might impart an objectionable odor. The temperature should be somewhere between 50 and 65 degrees.
Sound shelled eggs should be placed in a pre-cooled container and marketed at least twice a week. Pack eggs with the small end down.
Other summer suggestions:
Get the loafers out of the flock. Check frequently to see which hens are not laying or are attempting to set. These should be sold or eaten. Unless hatching eggs are being, produced, all males should, be sold or eaten.
Experiments have shown that chickens fed in trough feders waste from 28 to 45 per cent of their feed during the first six weeks if the feeders arc filled level full each time they are emptied. Only 2 to 5 per cent was wasted when the feeders were filled half level.
