If You Can't Sell Egos Then Sell Your Chickens
The production to January 1st for this year is ahead of last year's production due to a mild winter. Egg prices are on the rocks with December averages at 2¢ per dozen versus 43.50 last year, affecting gross receipts. Consumption is below normal amid depression and unemployment, with storage surpluses. Even with severe winter weather, February and March egg prices are unlikely to improve, and profits for 1931 look bleak. Experts urge culling lower producing pullets and yearling hens to save feed costs, possibly paying for the culling in two months. Owners should reduce pullets 25 to 20 percent, telling some to the market, and even poor flocks may be halved. The idea is to supply more chickens in January and February to prevent flock losses in 1931. The situation requires action to avoid further poultry losses.
