Broiler Chick

Pennsylvania dropped sharply
last week to the lowest total in
three months, according to the
Pennsylvania Crop Reporting
Service.

The starting of just 1,144,000
chicks on the 9-11 week feeding
cycle was four per cent below the
previous report and down 11 per
cent from a year earlier. The
current 10-week average of
placements continues to drop
over the same period in 1971, now
down three per cent.

Although the setting of eggs for
broiler-type chick hatch con
tinues to run high it does not
appear that it will improve the
Commonwealth’s broiler
production position. Much of the
hatcheries production is shipped
out of state.
The current 10 week average of
shipments of broiler chicks out of
the state is up to 22 per cent of the
10-week average of placements
within the state and on the in
crease. These outshipments are
now running 47 per cent ahead of
last year.
Holstein springers, 350-510.
Holstein open heifers, 190-300.
Bulls, 250-425.
