Georgia Egg Producers

rhe $64 question farm families
<k of an enterprise established on
the farm is, “Can we make money
with it?” Farmers throughout
Georgia, especially in Northeast
A (corgia, are asking this question
e than ever about the produc
cion of commercial eggs.
The market is here. Farmers are
making money with it. Some fam
| ilies have made meney with it for
cears. Improvements in market
ing facilities and increased de
mand for the products will make
ihe job easier for poultrymen in
the future. Poultry science en
.bles the average poultryman to
{)J\' the best chicks ever possil?le.
Feed manufacturers are making
B¢ best feeds ever known. The
answer to the Big Question seems
to depend on the knowledge and |
kil of the poultryman himself.
B There is no book written which
5 prospective poultryman can read,
and thereby know all. about the
boultry business. Profitable poul
v flock management is possible
W v after study and work. Egg
production is a very scientific pro
: .+ It does not require a Phila-
Jelphia Lawyer to understand the
, Boow-how, but there is a definite
. ooram which must be followed
: )€ x‘:‘f'!-‘:-.\‘fl,ll.
" poultry experts say that a pro
erotive poultryman should start

the farm or ruin hiS credit stand- |
i Reginners in this field should
wse equipment, such as buildings
slready on the place, which can be
~mverted into this project at first.
| 1+ is important to make poultry
onerations a part of the farm op
erations, using available labor and
sclling to the hens the grain raised
on the farm. Too often poultry-
R .o are led to believe that if their
chicks live and lay, all their feed
must be bought in a printd bag.
This is not true. It is important
that feeds, if not produced on the
poultryman’s farm, be produced at
least in this part of the country.
Large Scale
It is highly important that eggs
pe sold at as high a price as pos-
sible, Farm people are producing
eggs on a larger scale, and with the
increased egg production, eggs
must be sold on wholesale basis. A
poultryman will not be able to get
retail prices for all his output.
In deciding on a poulfry project,
many farm people ask whether it
Mis more profitable to preduce
hatching eggs or commercial eggs.
Hatching eggs always bring a bet
ter price per dozen, and there al
ways is & demand here for hatch
ing eggs. In recent months farm
people of this vicinity h& real
ized that commercial - pro
ducing hens are as profitable, if
not more so in some instances, as
the hatching-egg breed.
In producing hatching eggs,
roosters are necessary—not true
with commercial eggs. Hatching
gg birds must be blood-tested and
fed a breeder mash. This costs
money, and is not nepessary in
commercial egg production. Hatch
ing egg birds generally are bred
for output of good broilers, which
means meat. They are not bred
to produce eggs.
Breeds bred strictly for egg pro
duction generally lay about eight
dozen eggs per hen per year more ‘
than do the meat breeds. The in=-
creased egg production more than
offsets the premium offered for
hatching eggs.
. Reduce Costs
Experience has taught poultry
men the importance of reducing
feed costs and selling on a. good
market, but it is most important
in managing a flock to make the
birds lay more eggs. A commer
clal egg producer is on his own to
the extent that he very -definitely
guides his own destiny.
Some commercial egg producers
make their birds produce no more
than 160 eggs per hen per year.
They feed almost as much per
bird and use as much house space

Egg Production Rules
Given By Poultry Head
Profitable egg production depends on many factors, but
records of the Georgia National Egg Laying Test,conduct
ed on the University of Georgia campus for the past 25,
years, show that rules will pay poultrymen, according to
Dr.R. S. Wheeler, head of the Poultry Department zt the
University of Georgia. ;
tition in the fall when they were
old enough to be in lay. This work
will continue. The commercial
feed people have also trained
thousands of flock owners. Other
organizations are working to train
Georgia farmers in poultry flock
management. Before eggs pro
duced in Georgia can compete with
those shipped in, we must produce
quality eggs.
Georgia Eggs, Inc. has already
influenced the thinking ®f poul
trymen in 20 Northeast Georgia
counties with reference 1o quality.
An egg is not “something with a
hard shell” which can stay fresh.
It is almost as perishable as milk.
The farmer who is willing to de
vote time, energy, and thought to
a well-managed commercial egg
flock can look forward to a year
round income after the first flock
has been put into production. This
requires approximately six
months. This type of farming is
what we need in this section along
with the other sources of income.
I would much prefer harvesting a
crop from the hen nest 365 days
of the year in the shade than to
harvest a crop 1 the sun In the
fall of the year.
A meeting of “Athens Get-It-
Done Club” along with other in
terested citizens will be held on
Thursday night at 6:30 in the
Georgian Hotel, concerning pro
posed expansion of Georgia Eggs,
Inc.

(1) Buy chicks from stock which
has been specifically bred for hign
egg production. High production
means higher profits, and high
production ability is inherited. It
pays to buy chicks which have the
ability to lay 200 or more eggs
per year.
(2) Start chicks in November
and December so they will begin
to lay in late spring and thus be
producing when egg prices are
highest.
High Efficiency
(3) Maintain high efficiency by
culling the non-producers and
low-producers. Feed costs are
high and egg profits decrease rap
idly when less than 60 eggs are
gathered from each 100 hens each
day. Maintain this 60 percent pro
duction figure by ®rigid, regular
culling.
(4) Refrigerate eggs from nest
to market in order to maintain
internal egg quality. Eggs must
be gathered two or three times a
day and must be immediately
placed in cool storage (40-50 de
grees C) to prevent deterioration.
Remember that eggs are as per
ishable as milk and that Georgia
egg producers cannot compge
with out-of-state producers unless
they can market top-quality eggs.
5) Produce only infertile.eggs.
Males are unnecessary for egg
production and decrease produc
tion efficiency. Males eat more
feed than do hens and make no
effort to pay their feed bill. Fer
tile eggs deteriorate more rapid
ly than do infertile eggs and are
more difficult to market.
Georgia is an egg-deficit state,
which means that Georgia farmers
have a ready market for all of the
eggs they can produce. The rec
ords of the Georgia Egg Laying
Test show definitely that profit
able eggs production can be ac
complished in Northeast Georgia.
‘Thus Georgia farmers can com
‘pete with those of any area if they
produce with the highest degree
of efficiency and maintain egg
quality by proper cool storage.
|Queer Egg
Shown Here
A quer looking egg was brought
to the Banner-Herald office by
W. H.. Dunn, who raises chickens
at 185 North Peter street.
The egg, layed by a New Hamp
shire Red hen, looked normal in
| all aspects except on one end
i where there was a curl, which
| resembled a snail, snake or worm.
i Manpower provided 15 per cent
| of farm labor energy in 1850, ani
mals 79 per cent, and machines
orily six per cent. Now, machines
do an estimated 92 per cent of all
farm work.
