E. L. Halsey, Jr., Has Successfull • Poultry Project! Uses Unusual Method | To Determine Sex Os Chicks t Eilgar Loon Halsoy, Jr., son of | Mr. ami MrS. K. L. Halsey, who lives in the <'<lg<* of town, has hern very successful with his I II poul try project. Although his project has been conilUcted on a very small scale, his htyeis production Juts been excellent. Edgar Leon, whose dad operates a feed store in Kdenton, used a i very unusual method to determine , the sex of his (lay-old New Hamp shire chicks. He had heard that if a person holds up a day-old chirk hy its neek for a minute that the sex could he determined hy the j chick’s actions while suspended in mid-air hy the neck. The pullet i chicks, true to any fctnalc species. ; is the quieter of the sexes and stops struggling : soon after U is; picked up hy the neck. The rooster keeps struggling and kirki/ijjf until 1 it is released. Edgar is . interested .in Si • ving this method in further testing. He was |00"<; accurate on his first, trial. He bciught twelve chicks and he sexed them himself from his dad’s store hist July, lie se-, jected six .pullets-and six cockerels. | One pullet dteit at the age of one month. The cockerels were eaten when they became frying size. The five pullets left began laying when they were five months old, and l they are still in productibti. For' a considerable period id’ time these! pullets were in 100' production, j Edgar Leon hopes that lie can in crease the size of his indict opera- j lion and still get a 100", produc-i tint) from his pullets, He is also interested in testing his sexing abil ity further, as he is not sure that it is accurate. Someone told him about this method and lie .tried it just as an experiment.
