Big Flocks Give
Better Profits

Big flocks produce more eggs
per hen than small flocks!
This recent report by the USDA
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
says D. D. Meyer, extension spec
ialist in poultry at Ohio State
University, tells onl yhalf the
story.
What he feels is important is
that good laying records follow
good Management practices, and
the more chickens a poultry rails
er has, the better job he tries to
do with them.
Many small flocks are left to
shift for themselves, Meyer points
out, and poor laying record re-
suits. When the flock gets above
100 in number, the owner tends
to make poultry more of busi-
ness.
"As a result" he adds, "they
keep up-to-date on new methods,
buy quality chicks, feed them
scientifically and house them prop
erly."
None of these practices are
beyond the reach of the owner
who has small flock, declares
Meyer, who believes that if one
is going to keep chickens at all
he might as well do it right.
