Standard-Bred Chickens Mean Larger Profits
A Poultry Husbandman from the Texas Agricultural College advocates replacing scrub and mongrel stock with standard-bred chickens. He cites higher egg and meat yields, stronger stock, and greater profitability, urging farmers to start with 50 to 100 eggs for hatching and to join a county program to supply 1,000 plus hatching lots. The extension department plans widespread distribution to Wilbarger County farmers and urban poultry raisers.
