ers in the Commonwealth’s fl
ocks during the month, at 15.1
million, was the lowest Febru
ary average since 1941. This,
combined with the extremely
hard weather and resultant low
rate or lay, accounted for the
low total egg output. The aver
age rate of lay, at 16.13 eggs
per layer, was down seasonally
from January, and was the lo
west February rate since 1961.
The short month and cold wea
ther normally make the Feb
ruary rate of lay the lowest of
the year.
Pennsylvania poultrymen cul
led 2.4 percent of their layers
during February, a large drop
from the 5.7 percent during
January, and the lowest num
ber on record The number of
pullets added to the laying
flocks, as a percent of all lay
ers, dropped from 4.4 percent
during Jan. to 2.6% during
February. This was the smal

since April, 1958. Losses re
sulting from disease, accident,

ghtly from a month earlier, but
remained higher than a year
ago.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 6, 1963—23'
.The egg-feed ratio indicated
that State poultrymen could
only buy 10.5 pounds of feed
with 1 dozen eggs, as compared
with 11.3 pounds last month.
This drop was caused by the
1 cent decline in the prices re
ceived for eggs, and an increase
in prices paid for feed. During
February, Pennsylvania poult
ryrnen lost the advantage they
have had over the Nation as a
whole, as the egg-feed ratio
was the same for both, for the
first time m over 20 years.'
Normally, poultrymen in the
Keystone State can buy about
1 pound more feed for a dozen
eggs than the United States
4,813 million eggs during Feb
average.
The Nation’s farm flocks laid
ruary, compared with 4,957
million eggs during February
1962.
