This impressive record was accomplished by Clarence Welker, R. D., Gratz,
Penna. The record was started when the birds were housed (19 weeks & 4 days) and
completed at the end of one year of lay (367 days). Equally impressive is Lester Wel
ker's record of 233.5 eggs per hen housed, 3.99 lb. feed conversion and 16.09% mor
tality. The Welkers are brothers. Clarence housed 4300 birds and Lester 4078 birds.
Computing eggs per bird on "the average number of hens" basis, we find Clarence
had 271.9 eggs per bird and Lester had 280.0 eggs per bird.
