Trap Nesting Advocated For Selecting Laying Hens
Prof James Dryden of Oregon Agricultural College argues trap nesting as the sure method to identify good layers from poor. He notes high egg production is not tied to any specific breed and that trapnesting and daily records reveal flock performance better than feed alone. The Oregon experiment station supports trap nesting to provide stock from strong layers and boost state egg yield. A six month laying record starting in November can indicate winter producers and guide farmers toward heavier paying, trap-nested fowls.
