HEALTHY CHICKS MAKE GREAT LAYERS!
What Is Fat for on HB| ;
Ik .
~ J!*
a Pullet?
On a pheasant it keeps her from starving when winter snows
shut off her food supply. When a pheasant lays eggs in the
spring, she’s thin Sunshine, green grass, bugs and seeds bring
on egg production to a relatively thm bird. Egg production and
fertility are easy for a thin bird
Then why raise a fat pullet to lay’ You don’t plan to starve
her It costs you extra money to put that fat on her Babcock
Poultry Fai m, o\ er a period of years, bred and raised the finest
Egg Laying Contest birds ever produced in America All our
good records were made with pullets raised big, framey, long fea
theied and thin on a low protein, high fiber diet. Sure we tried
raising contest pullets fat r too It never worked We always got
'beat by thin pullets
My Suggestion; First 6to 8 weeks—any good Starter 6to 8
weeks until they stait to grow combs—l3’'2% protein, 7% fiber All-
Flash Grower After they start to grow combs —17% protein All-
Mash Layer Insoluble grit from 2nd day on Oyster shell from
3 months on, sooner if possible Grit and oyster shell free
choice Easily accessible clean water
The othei day I called on a Babcock customer with 40,000
layeis He was also trying 3 competing strain-crosses and 2 hy
birds I thought livability was good on all of his birds The Bes
sies weie coming into lay about 10 days to 2 weeks later than
some of the other birds The Bessies were quickly passing these
buds after they started to lay, and the Bessies were laying any
where from 10% to 15% better than the other strains. The Bes
sies showed little or no CPID. whereas most ot the other birds
showed considerable trouble with this disease Just why I wasn’t
sure The egg shells, the lack of blood spots, and interior quality
on the Bessies was \er\ good
Whether >ou ha\e 500 lajeis or 50,000, I believe you will find
Bessies highlv successful on >our farm Please wnte for our free
booklet, “How To Prepare Pullets For Healthy Motherhood ”
For ovei 20 jears I have personally written our adver
tising because no one else could suit me. I have let others
write the ads during April and May this year. I am per
sonally spending most of my time breeding Babcock White
Leghorns and do not have time to write all of our future
ads. (It is not easy work.) From now on, each ad we
place in the magazines will have the writer’s name on the
ad so you can tell who wrote it. They will be written by
our management and research staffs here at Babcock
