A hatchery distributed about 500 chicks in Loudoun, and bankers in Frederick and Page back the programs. The Alleghany project began last year with sponsors renting brooders to club members in exchange for a portion of the birds, and the venture has grown this year. The initiative has spawned Virginia’s first junior home egg laying contest, with February data showing 32 club members from 294 birds averaging 18.26 eggs per bird and 40.74 total eggs per bird to date. the top flocks averaged 21 to 25 eggs per bird.
