Light Colored Fowls Best for Marketing
In the dressed poultry trade today the preference is for light colored birds, whether chickens fowls or turkeys. Well fattened birds properly bled and picked bring the best prices. Defects in bleeding and picking may cause a price reduction of several cents a pound. Fowls weighing four and one half pounds or more bring a premium over lighter birds. Troilers must weigh at least a pound at the beginning of the season and a pound and a half or more later and be well finished to satisfy the trade. Fancy heavy capons weighing nine pounds or more top the market. Capons weighing five pounds or less frequently sell for less than ordinary roasting chickens. Smaller geese are wanted than formerly and young birds weighing nine to eleven pounds are most in demand. Ducks should weigh four and one half pounds or more and white ducks are preferred.
