A three year USDA study shows that offspring performance best predicts a hen’s laying ability. Testing daughters of hens from 10 sires and 135 dams found that dam or sire egg records poorly forecast progeny.

Poultry Notes Cite Ohio Leads in Egg Output
Poultry Gleanings reports Ohio ranking fourth in poultry production with 24,953,000 chickens. Pullets lay about 20 percent more eggs yearly than yearling hens, while Seneca county raisers marketed 1,800,000 eggs last year. A Rhode Island hen owned by Ernest Bahr laid an egg nearly 9 inches in circumference. Income from farm poultry in the United States trails only cattle, cotton, hogs and milk in value. The Rhode Island fair of 1826 featured Emden geese, shown by Mr. Sisson at Pawtucket. Tyrrell, a North Carolina farmer, describes a brick chick brooder built for 60 cents in stove piping and 20 cents for time, claiming it works well.
