EARLY CHICK MORTALITY VS.
POTENTIAL EGG PROFITS
1041,
Shoemakersville, PA
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.
