Frank KcAllistor's chickens did.
quite well for themselves and by
their owner during the month of
December. Respite the declining
prices of eggs during the month,
Frank'r. .records shov; that each
bird in his flock mc.de him a
pi'ofit of more then EG?' over the
cost of feed and gas for lights
or a gross profit of nearly 15pf
per dozen eggs.
For the benefit of those v/ho wish
to study egg production, "*r.
refillster has made available
a copy, of his records >for pub -
lication in the VALLEY SETTLER.
The flock, now largest in the
valley, numbered 330 hens at
the beginning of the month and
322 hens at the end. The total
of eggs produced v,as 6026, or
577--2 dozen. Average produc
tion was 60.2/1. Total cost of
feed was *109.60 ( including
gasoline). Egg sales totalad
'193.60. Gross profit oh the
flock was ;;8d,05.
Supplementary figures furnished
by the report shor that the total
income per hen was 60^ v’hilo the
feed cost wns 31^. I?ecd cost
per dozen eggs was 19^ while the
average selling price was over
33^.
Applying the chart furnished two
weeks ago in this paper, in which
all costs arc taken into account,
the necessary selling price of
thes.; eggs must bu 31 *-2/3 ^ per
dozen in order to cover looses, ,
housing, investment, depreciation
