What is an H&N “Nick Chick” Leghorn”
H&N “Nick Chick” Leghorns are the offspring of a cross between un
related lines of white leghorns This crossing gives the chicks you
get a good boost in performance because of hybrid vigor .
How is H&N “Nick Chick” Leghorn livability”
H&N “Nick Chick” Leghorns have earned a record of 85% livability
in ELEVEN YEARS OF OFFICIAL RANDOM SAMPLE TESTING
compared to the test average of those years of 76% It is import
ant to note that this record was established, not by one group of
birds in one test but by ELEVEN ENTIRELY SEPARATE groups of
birds, some purposely exposed to leukosis Thus H&N provides long
range proof of high livability because one year’s test is never a
reliable indication of true strain comparisons t
A.
At what age can I expect H&N “Nick Chick” Leghorns to reach
50% lay”
Once again it is difficult to give an exact answer as maturity depends
upon hatch date and other factors However, H&N s are noted for
coming into production rapidly H&N’s on an average hit 50% pro
duction at about 160-180 days, or 5 to SVis months <_
A.
How well do H&N’s resist respiratory disease problems”
Field reports from areas with a high incidence of C R D show that
management is a very important factor in preventing and controlling
this problem A sound vaccination program is essential Protection
from cold winds or other severe climatic changes also seems to be
effective
A.

Consistent with good management, H&N’s have relatively high
resistance to respiratory problems Proof is the many H&N’s which
are being raised successfully in areas which have the reputation of
being hot respiratory problem spots
.How about egg size’
HiN’s Balanced Breeding Program emphasizes profits for the
poultryman This means we aim for an egg size which will permit
high egg numbers, efficient feed consumption, and the right sizes
for highest earnings
A.
Obviously, there are many variables, but ordinarily H&N’s will
be producing large eggs at 7 months of age
Here are figures taken from the 6th and 7th California Ran
dom Sample Tests Egg size averaged 25 3 ounces per dozen for the
test period In the Bth California Random Samole Test, the H&N
egg weight was 2S 1 ounces per dozen at approximately one year of
age H&N had 22 6 per cent extra large, 44 5 per cent large, 26 5 per
cent medium and 6 2 per cent small for the entire test In the first
two Wisconsin Random Sample Tests H&N’s were 2nd and Ist re

COMMON GRADE steers are
poor m conformation, finish and
quality They are usually rela
tively small for their age and
indicate in their appearance a
rather low degree of thrift and
vitality The body is usually de
cidedly rangy. It is usually nar
row and shallow, with a long
head and neck*.
The legs are long and set close
together and the top line is
rough and frequently lower in
the middle than over the shoul
ders or rump. Such animals are
shallow chested and pot bellied
Fleshing over the shoulders
crops, back, loin and rump is
thin, and the outlines of the
bones in these parts are usually
readily perceptible The fleshing
is disproportionately distributed
over these parts and is frequent
ly either soft or slightly hard
Animals of this grade are us
ually unkempt in their general
appearance and frequently show
the effects of poor breeding and
care.
INFERIOR'STOCKERS are all
that the grade name implies.
They are very deficient in con
formation, finish and quality
They indicate in their general
appearance that they are very
small for their age. The body is
rangy, the head usually very
long in relation to width and the
neck is very long in relation to
the size of the body.
In general such an animal is
shallow, rough on top and cut up
in the heart. The flesh covering
is very thin and what flesh the
animal might be carrying is
patchy
