Fowl with Large Appetite How to spot high producing hens

The article explains that a hen's appetite and production quality are indicated by the crop size and body shape. A wedge shaped body from rear ribs suggests greater capacity, while a high producer has soft pliable skin over the breast bone and abdomen. In contrast a nonproducer shows a hard leathery feel and fat filled body cavity.
