"RED LADY" only took 19 days rest in a whole year. And here is what Art Brunton has to say Gentlemen : We believe you will be interested to hear that our fine performing RHODE ISLAND REDS were fed your good SHUR-GAIN feed from the day we hatched them. While the country-wide report has not ,been released by the Government we 'do know that the egg laying record made by our hen "RED LADY" will be one of the highest for tee 1944-45 test year in all breeds and possibly'one of the highest for the Rhode Island Red breed in many years. This hen's R. O. P. entry number was 33155D; her record, 346 eggs-in 365 days. "RED LADY" made her remarkable record on SHUR-GAIN feed, in fact she was raised on it from a day old.
