An article extols the Single Comb White Leghorn as the premier laying breed, noting Petaluma California as a major center and claiming high egg production, large white eggs, and strong profitability from a bred-to-lay strain. It urges selecting good shaped, large eggs and replacing poor layers with bred-to-lay stock.
A short guide from a small farmer describing four years of raising single comb white Leghorns. They note high egg production when hens scratch for exercise, discuss cockerel disposal as broilers or breeders, and advise on nest setup and gentle handling. They report 543 dozen eggs sold for $105.29 in seven months and reflect on egg shipping, breeding, and show prospects.
