SELECTING AND
MATING POUL-
TRY BREEDERS
One of the best way of reducing
the cost of producing eggs from the
poultry flock is to improve the pro-
duction. Cost of labour, housing, and
feed is about equal on a flock of high
producers as it is on a pen of poor
layers. To improve the production the
breeders must be selected for vitality
and productive quality. If the breed-
ers :are not selected on this basis, the
average production will undoubtedly
&crease. The trap -nest record Is the
most reliable indication of the pro -
&talon of the individual bird, but this
method entails a great deal of labour
and expense. If this record is not av-
ailable the breeders must be selected
on their external visible qualities.
