Study of Egg Production Shows Record Averages
The Utah Experiment Station reports from ~1,600 records across six White Leghorn flocks age one to seven. Average first year production is 124 eggs, second year same as first, third year about a dozen less, with 100 to 160 eggs in the first year and 100 to 130 in the third. Many hens exceed 500 eggs with some reaching over 800 to nearly 1,000, and some peak in later years. The work notes a strong three year average stability among high producers. Alpine scenery is very grand. Very durable, too. I imagine it to pull through the war all right.
