It is good business to brood
chicks in the fall, Carl Dos
sm, Penn State extension
poultry specialist, believes
He says the spread between
medium and large egg prices
In the spring may be as little
as 5 cents, while in the fall
it rpay be 15 to 20 cents a
dozen ' The price favors the
fall-hatched pullet’s eggs.
