In Spring Chicks
Spring is the natural time to start and grow chicks
That’s why spring chicks grow so rapidly and economically
into healthy, well - developed layers.
Strong, healthy Babcock
Bessie chicks quickly re
spond to the urge of spring.
They start off laying heavily,
and come right into large
eggs from the start . just
like all the Bessies Our ex
perience shows that spring
pullets will by October,
1959, have laid as many eggs
as average strain pullets
hatched in Febiuary
This means you benefit from top fall prices this year
And their long 14-15 months of continuous high production
will again give top summer and fall production in 1959 as
well Bessie top production means peaking at 88 - 93%
with 92 - 95 ' < A and A A Large eggs
You’ll save money on brooding and rearing costs too
with spring chicks Some poultrymen’s records show over
50 cents per bird lower cost, compared to winter * Your
fuel and equipment costs will be less These pullets on
early range will reduce your growing costs
