se r"%/ic;c£ bulletin 239 eggs average from 259,000 hens You hear a lot of ‘'chin music” about results produced by vari ous feeds, regardless of quality, feed efficiency or price. Usually the cheapest feeds claim the best results. You don’t have to listen to “chin music” about results on the Purina Program.

These are the totals: , 128 flocks , 259,402 birds i 65.7% aver, production ) I 239 eggs per bird ) i 4.35 aver. lbs. feed per doz. ) i 4.0 or less conversion on many flocks ) Please note that these are not two or three carefully-picked records. These cover 128 flocks from small to very large. Figure your feed cost per dozen. We believe you’ll quickly prove to yourself Purina feeding costs you less. Studies Show Less Pecking In "Organized" Flock . . • Every flock of chickens has a social order called “peck” order. In a small flock, every hen fights every other hen, learns which she can peck and which she had better dodge. Scientific studies show peck ing is nearly cut in half when the flock becomes “organized”—when each hen kiwms where she stands in the order. If you mi\ flocks or add new birds, this pro cess is repeated to establish a new order.

Debeaking is the answer when birds are lost from pecking. It also stops losses from “blowouts.” Temporary eversion of the oviduct is normal with egg laying. It becomes a “blowout” if the ovi duct remains hanging externally. This is likely to happen in flocks where vents have been damaged by excessive vent pecking. H. Hiestand & Co. Salunga John B.
