SHOULD A HEN LAY
FIVE TIMES WEIGHT
IN EGGS IN A YEAR
When Applied to Smaller Breed,
Yes; to Larger American
Fowls No.

The Poultry Bulletin of Cornell uni
Versity says a hen should produce five
times her weight in eggs during a year.
This may be true when applied to the
smaller laying breeds, but would not
hold good when applied to the Ameri-
cans or larger breeds. although they
may be credited with laying as many
eggs in year as the others, but it must
be remembered that they weigh almost
twice as much as the strictly egg
breeds. There is no question, however,
but what the hen is in a class by her
self when 1t comes to paying for herself
in year.
Gull Out Weak Hens.
Gull out the weak hens from the flock
and get rid of them. There are several
ways to distinguish the weak from the
vigorous in a flock. A strong hen will
have a bright red and coarse looking
face and comb when laying; comb may
be rather large for the breed she repre-
sents. She win be found to be singing
and scratching most of the time. The
head should be rather stout, not slim
and cranish. The eyes large and bright
The neck well arched, not slim and
straight; tail should be carried up in
good form. not low and dragging. The
body should be deep from back to keel
