BY keeping a backyard poultry
flock the family would not only
help in reducing the high cost Of
living but would have eggs of a
quality and freshness which are
often difficult to obtain.
Each hen in her pullet year
should produce 10 dozen eggs.
The average size of the backyard
flock should be at least 10 hens.
Thus each flock would produce in
year 100 dozens of eggs, which
at the conservative value of 40
cents a dozen would be- worth $40
