NEW HAMPSHIRE REDS
We have an excellent strain of New Hampshire Reds,
not broody. We are raising 1,000 New Hamp pullets for our
own farm. We wish to secure flock owners to supply hatch
ing eggs next season. Some available for March, April and
May. Good premiums paid*
I am bringing 45 to 50 dozen hatching eggs per week,
no eggs set under 24 ounces per dozen, On February 22nd
hatch of 672 eggs set, I received a 93 per cent hatch on total
eggs and a 98% per cent hatch on fertile eggs. This pays
me a premium of 22 cents per dozen over market price.
I have New Hampshire pullets crossed with Sussex
cockerels.
