Kid chickens to make them lay
In Payallup Washington the West Washington experiment station reports that lengthened winter daylight and pampered hen care boost egg production. A pen of 100 White Leghorns profitably outperformed ordinary fowls, with 65 percent winter production and 38.07 dollars profit in five weeks over feed costs. Supt. Linklater and expert Shoup describe palatial conditions, six daily meals, and gas-lit pens as key to revolutionary poultry methods.

Artificial spring-day conditions boost year round egg production
A farm study compares two pens of pullets. One pen, kept under strict human control, produced 1,592 eggs in five weeks with a $3.77 weekly feed cost and a $31.03 profit. The other pen, allowed to roam, yielded 642 eggs at $3.29 weekly feed. Expert Shoup says ideal spring-day conditions can keep winter egg output high. Seattle’s Howard Joslyn cites broader munitions plant discussions on the Sound.
