HATCHERY ANNOUNCES
CHICKS TO BE AVAILABLE
The Hatchery will be ready to receive
orders for chicks after 8:00 A.M.
on January 17. No orders are being
• taken before this.
It has been generally felt by those
who raised chicks last year that it
would have been far more satisfac
tory if it had boon possible to get
them earlier in the season. For
.this reason the incxibator will be
set up on February 21 this year and
the first ohicks will be available
on March 23. There will be a cer
tain number of chicks ready for
delivery about twice a week during
the end of March, April and early
May and orders will be taken on
that basis, as follows:

Max Sherrod, Manager of the Hatchery,
advises that custom hatching will be•
received at any time there is incu
bator space available. However, ho
states, first consideration will be
given to chick orders. Duck and
turkey eggs cannot be set while the
incubator is full of chicken eggs,
although it may oc possible to set
them in April, provided a complete
tray is ready.
Mr. Sherrod reminds us', too, that it
takes about 300 chicks to produce
100 good pullets in the fall; and
only about one-third of present
flocks should be held over for the
second year.
Prices quoted are: 10-day chix 20^
Day-old " 15^
Custom hatching, chicken eggs,
180-egg tray $9.00
Custom hatching, duck or tur
key eggs, per tray $11.00
