BURLING’S
CHICKS
WIN AGAIN
Once again, to add to our
long string of victories, our
Leghorn and New Hamp
chicks at NEPPCO’s IssB
Egg-to-Chick Show won tWo
irsts out of only two Bur
ing entries.
We have won firsts at
this show almost without «
break, and hold two Grand
Championships
Since incubation and se
lection of chicks used for
showing is beyond our con
trol, this is further proof of
high quality the kind we
deliver to you.
. Scoring of our White Leg
horn entry, first in the Egg
Production Division, was as
iollows;
Egg Quality Score . 89.25
Hatchability Score 88 3
Chick Quality Score 98 0
Total Score 92.4 T
There were 9 different en
tries in the White Leghorn
Class. In the Miscellaneous
Class, with 5 or more en
tries of the same breed, Bur
ling’s New Hamp’s scored
84 67 points to win top hon
ors.
Old Hen Eggs Used
The eggs which we used
for this competition were
old-hen eggs, which do not
score as high in quality as
pullet eggs We have always
used old-hen eggs for this
show, which makes these
winnings all the more sig
nificant.
