Trim Hens Lay 21000 Eggs in Controlled Climate
Ike Phillips operates 3B Farm on Rt. 614 with about 46 000 laying hens producing 21000 eggs daily. The packing room uses mercury lights to detect shell cracks and defects with eggs sorted by weight and defect, and sold by type. A severe winter damages the coops, destroying part of a chicken house and leaving 2000 hens to roam while repairs plan to begin after nightfall.
