Healthy Chicks Make Great Layers!
3K Less Per Pullet
June is a great time to start Babcock Bessie chicks.
Pullet rearing costs are considerably lower than in win
ter ’ 31tf' less per bird, according to Cornell on-the-
'arm studies And on some farms as much as 51#* less
ier bird Lower fuel and labor costs are the main
reasons for these savings In addition, there is usually
less trouble fiom coccidiosis and other diseases this time
of the year
When your chicks are Babcock Bessies you get an
extra benefit from their persistency of lay These 15-
month layeis will be producing at a profit all through
'59 and well into 1960 They do an especially fine 10b
during the 10th, 11th, and 12th months of lay when many
strains are dropping off sharply in production
The Babcock Bessies you buy now can well be the
•most profitable birds on your farm That’s because of
rearing costs that often average 3W per bird less and the
15 months of continuous high production that you get
/w ith Bessies
