Poultry Flocks Move Through Moult and Graded Egg Sales
In the Ames area Mr. Menges shapes a poultry operation with 100 birds culled to a reduced flock, hens fed mixed grain and mash, and a moult underway causing a drop in daily egg production. A 14 week old young flock of 200 Tan credd pallets from pedigreed stock tabs is raised, with cockerels in another pen. The plan keeps half the old birds and the pullets, while selling infertile eggs at a premium to grocery stores. ventas marginal growth follows a period of steady 60 plus percent output earlier.
