Warmth generated by rthe hatching eggs has got to ‘be allowed for,_ _ Yearling and 2-year-old hens do not lay many eggs in the fall, as they are moLting at that time, and the feed they consume goes not only to keep up the energy and life of the Ibirds but also to put on or grow a, new coat of feathers.

They had their origin as “sports” from Barred Plymouth Rooks» about 25 years ago, when they were produced .415 grays, but developed by [breeding into a. white variety. The females are exceptionally good layers of large, brown eggs, and the chicks are rugged and act- ive, making excellent, {owls for broilers and heavy4brea’sted roast- ing chickens. They weigh from 8 to 10 pounds for males and 6 to 8 pounds for females. They are more highly developed in shape, finish and color than other members of the Plymouth Rook family.
