Healthy Chicks Make Great Layer?* ,
Babcock Bessie Has
Monroe C. Babcock
Why don’t you consider these factors when planning
your next batch of chicks Babcock Bessie is a real top
commercial layer.
SIZE OF BIRD; At First Egg About 3 5 lbs
At One Year of Age 4 4 to 4 7 lbs.
DAYS TO FIRST EGG: This varies with time of year
hatched Bessies are a little slower to
mature than some other strains.
RATE OF LAY; Under ideal care Bessies will peak at 88%
to 93%. Flock averages for 12 months of
lay run 235 to 270 eggs per bird housed.
PERSISTENCY; Very long winded layer 14 to 15
months continuous high lay. Production
gets down to 60% to 55% at end of 15
months.
EGG SIZE: Excellent First twelve months of lay will
usually run 82 to 85% large and extra
large. From fourth month of lay on egg
size wall run 92% to 95% large and extra
large. Very few double yolked eggs at
anytime.
EGG SHAPE: Just about right in our opinion
SHELL COLOR: Chalk White.
SHELL STRENGTH: Good.
BLOOD SPOTS; Low very satisfactory.
ALBUMEN QUALITY: Good.
PERCENT “A” ’S AND “AA” ’S: As shown by egg grading
stations usually over 95%.
PLEASE NOTE: No bird that has laid heavily 12 to 15 months will
lay 'a beautiful, strong shelled egg with high interior quality. Bab
cock Bessies will lay a fine egg for about 12 months, but after that
their egg quality will go down hill.
HOW TO ORDER: Either write for prices" or phone us collect
