Schmuecker's Hens Paid Him 3.94 an Hour
Marengo farmer E J Schmuecker led Iowa State college extension demonstration flocks from 1943 to 1945. He set records with 176 to 241 eggs per hen and earned 1016.38 dollars for the year, amounting to 3.94 dollars per hour for labor while keeping costs low through efficient housing and brooding practices. He used 250 chicks in 10 by 12 foot brooders, paid 60 dollars per hundred for cross line sexed pullets, and found pullets without culls outperform mixed flocks.

Schmuecker poultry housing uses deep litter and controlled warmth
Schmuecker outlines a brooding and laying program with multi sided houses for even light, six inches of crushed corn cobs deep litter, and minimal litter changes. He trains chicks to self feed from eight weeks, shifts to range feeding later, and maintains temperatures above 50 degrees to keep litter dry. Hens stay indoors with rear entrance and darkened nests for egg cleanliness.
