Changes In Laying Flocks And Egg Production Trends
The report notes trends in pullet growth, culling rates, and replacements affecting the laying flock and egg output. In the United States replacements rose 10 percent higher than a year earlier, with July–December hatchings increasing and anticipated to reduce month to month egg price variation. In Pennsylvania, hatchings rose less and the farm layer population continued to decline amid shifts toward all pullet flocks and more chicks required to maintain flock size.
