Dr. J. Batty
Though most people start keeping poultry for the sake of having fresh eggs, a great many find that their stock provides much interest that their garden would seem incomplete without them. There is something to be proud of in a pen of vigorous pullets which, thanks to your good feeding and management, are laying that little bit better than your next-door neighbor’s. And then there’s the excitement of finding the first egg of the season and watching the daily score rise till peak production is reached. Well-managed birds will give up to 200 eggs or more each year.
