You Can Make Extra Money With These Long Winded Layers Monroe C. Babcock O J One of the big reasons why Babcock Bessies make money for vou is their persistency their ability to stay at good production well into the second laying year Under good management, Babcock Bessies will still be averag ing 60% production between their 12lh and 15lh months of laj and giving you a' real bonus on your operation Here's how it works out. If you are getting 60% production, your feed and labor costs for producing a dozen eggs probably don’t exceed 37 cents a dozen right now, even using some hired lalbor That means on eggs selling for 50 cents per dozen you aie netting 13 cents over feed and labor costs With 1,000 hens producing at 60%, that’s 4500 dozen eggs or $585 over feed and labor costs for those extra three months of lay Doesn t it make good sense to house birds that can give you all the advantages of top livability, large early egg size, and good rate of lay well into the second laying year' These factors all add up to more profits for you We would like to have you try Babcock Bossies and will be glad to book you today for any hatch you choose phone us collect.
