Well-informed poultrymen have long been convinced of the wisdom, of feeding for the particu- lar results they want to achieve. Feeding for high hatching results is no exception. The eggs you collect that are intended for the incubator should come from flocks fed just for this pur- pose. A good laying mash won't do—you need a mash intended solely for hatching flocks.
