One of the staunchist advocates
of the American free enterprise
system is McKendree FullIS, own
er of the Laytonsville Poultry
Farm. And well he should be.
From group of 100 baby chicks
for which he paid 50 Mac" has
built the areas largest fresh
chicken business, Matching $500
meat-heavy New Hampshires a
week.
Unlike many poultry farms, the
Fulks' plant works on a. staggered
schedule. Rather than Matching
a batch of chicks and carrying
them all the way through to kill
ing time before Matching another
batch, chicks are Matched every
week at LaytonsVille. "That way
we have chickens for sale every
week" explains Mac. Fryers are
killed when they're 10 weeks old;
roaSters are killed when they're
II weeks old.
The average chicken "popula-
ton at the Laytonsville Poultry
Farm is between $4,000 and Co.
600. Mr.. Fulks explains that he
is the only poultryman left in
Western Maryland and Northern
Virginia who breeds, matches,
grows, and processes chickens.
How the County native went
from a poverty-stricken childhood
to his present position is a pow
erful recommendation for the
American system. ANY man who
is courageous enough to go out
and take chance, no matter what
other folks say, is going to sue
ceed," is the way Mr.. Fulks states
his philosophy.
The FulkS' have always been
defenders of the individuals
rights to say and do what he
pleaSeS. An unconfirmed story
has it that before the Revolution
ary War Ignatius Fulks was fin
ed $50 for "cursing the King"
The gentleman handed the Judge
S100 $50 1 can curse him some
more"
In 1910 MacKendree Fulks
bought 100 baby chicks for SO.
At the time he was working for
an uncle, Will Fulks, and raised
the brood in the uncle's Laytons-
vile barn. Ambitious Mac was
driving a milk truck at the same
time!
Since the first group of chicks
grew and sold well, Mac decided
to expand and bought 300 chicks
for $21. Unfortunately only 67
survived. Low on money, Mac
wasn't discouraged. He bought a
couple of hundred eggs from
Ga,thersburg High School teach
er Roland Wards mother. He
then put eggs under hens and 60
per cent hatched
Shifting success, Mac bought
more eggs, this time from former
baseball star Sam Rice, and
hatched them under oil-fired in
Despite frequent incu-
bator fires, Mac began to gain
stature as poultryman.
II had to learn as l came
along" remembers Mr.. Fulks. "I
talked to a lot of other poultry
raisers and got plenty of advise
from them"
In 1941 Mac bought a load of
