Encouragement for Profit in Poultry Game
United States Department of Agriculture figures show farm flocks 4 to 5 percent larger than last year. Egg production may not rise soon due to late hatched pullets and a potentially mild winter. Egg storage is 34 percent below last year, with lower five year average storage. Reduced supplies suggest smaller egg availability despite possible production gains. Pacific coast shipments are light, with an estimated 18 percent drop in spring and summer chick production. Low feed prices may boost profits for well bred and well fed flocks.
