to improve the quality of the but

and third points apply to all breeds,

Good layers mott late and quickly,
If you go through the flock the first
of October and pick out the hens that
are just beginning to mott, or have not
started, you will get most of those
which are laying.
In yellow skin breeds the paleness
of the shanks after a period of laying
is a good condition. of a hens ca
pacity. ANY bird with bright yellow
Shanks after 4 year of laying may be
picked out as Il good producer.
