Plan for Poultry Success
Government poultrymen urge higher production with nine steps. Improve stock quality through standard bred birds and healthy breeders. Hatch early for fall and winter layers, preserve cheap eggs, and produce infertile eggs for nonhatching use. Cull unprofitable flocks, maintain a family backyard flock, grow more poultry feed, and eat more poultry and eggs to save meat supplies.
Pullets for Winter Layers and Early Coulting Rules
Poultry keepers should cull undersized pullets by September to avoid low returns as winter layers. Five month Plymouth Rock under four pounds, Wyandotte or Rhode Island Red under three, and Leghorn four months and under two pounds are poor as winter layers and should be culled. Age estimation errors lead to keeping unsuitable birds.
