Egg hen ratio and brood yield amid cold spring
Biologists analyze the spring sex ratio at 1.4 hens per cock and a brood total of 4.4 per 1.4 hens, yielding about three young per hen. Poor nesting is blamed on cold wet weather and extensive farming. Farm elevators injure two Pella youths, John Bandstra 10 with a broken tee and internal injuries, and Lawrence Van der Molten 14 with a brain concussion who has since recovered.
