With the end Of the half year four
pens Of birds register over 800 eggs each,
ranging downward from 621 to 6O4. At
the lowest, GO4 eggs, the final scores for
pens should show four pens over 1900
eggs each, and several birds which
should finish over $50 eggs. There is a
fair chance for one bird to reach 800, by
