POTENTIAL EGG PROFITS How do you measure layer flock profitability? How many of the day old chicks you purchase make it into your laying house? Excessive early chick mortality can always be re placed or adjusted on subsequent chick orders but not so with the potential income from those 240 eggs each pullet could have given you. Just 2% instead of 1% early chick mortality on 60,000 chicks could mean the difference of $600.00 potential income missed in the laying house. (20 doz. x 5 C x 600 birds) Think of it next time you choose where to buy your next chicks.
