Maizie the World’s Champion Hen Sells Eggs at 300 a Dozen
Maizie, the University of British Columbia’s pullet, sold to a Texas breeder for 25 each or 300 per dozen after producing 351 eggs in a 365 day test. Prof. Everton A. Lloyd notes this as the highest price for a hen’s eggs and cites potential yearly value of 8,775 if all 851 eggs had sold at 25 apiece. The record surpassed a 347 egg Australian high and a 335 egg North American mark from Puyallup. Scientific poultry breeding boosts western Canadian flocks and farming profitability.
