That is, if you don’t get on a “quality program ”
The time is very near when egg buyers will not take
vour eggs at any price if you don’t have quality.
Here are four things you must do if you want to
stay in the egg business:
1 First of all, you must use an all-pullet flock
each jear Research has shown that a second year
layer just cannot lay the quality egg that she did
when she was in her pullet year, regardless of breed
ing or management Many large egg buying organi
zations on the west coast will not take eggs from a
flock that has laid over 12 months. This may very
well be the case in the east in the very near future.
2 You must keep your eggs in a cellar where
temperatures never rise above 65° at any time and
where a relative humidity of 75 or 80% can be main
tained If you do not have such a cellar you have
no othei alternative than to put in a cooler.
3 You must gather your eggs three times a day,
even on days when you think you’re too busy to do so.
4 You must use a strain of chickens with bred-in
egg quaht\ You would be amazed at the difference
betsveen strains
We have just received word fiom one of the largest
egg marketing organizations in the state that eggs
from Gieider flocks were some of the highest quality
they received We have been told the same thing
by other buvers But don’t take our word for it,
ask them'
