You Soon Won’t Be Able To Sell
Your Eggs!!!
That is, if you don’t get on a “quality program.”
The time is very near when egg buyers will not take
your 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 year. Research has shown that a secofld 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 other 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 hred-in
egg quality. You would be amazed at the difference
between strains.
We have just received word from one of the largest
egg marketing organizations' in the state that eggs
from Greider flocks were some of the highest quality
they received. We have been told the same thing
by other buyers. But don’t take our word for it,
ask them!
