Poultry expert Prof A G Phillips head of Purdue University Poultry Department, urges producers to select birds by purpose not color or breed. For white eggs with low meat, Leghorn or Ancona suit, but require housing to protect combs from freezing. For brown eggs and meat, Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte, or Orpington cost more but hatch their own chicks and resist cold.
The article extols purebred poultry, noting consistent breeding yields, uniform product quality, and better market prices for eggs and breeding stock. It argues crossbreeds lack predictability, while purebreds command higher prices, improve culling accuracy, and even influence buyer perception and care. Commercial hatcheries and farmers boost profits by adopting purebred stock.
