B.. IMorris, poulty specialist; for the State College Extension Service." Early-hatched chicks, says IMorris, will come Into production in the early summer when the old bens in the flock are slowing down in production. The young pullets will have a good size by the time egg prices start rising, since prices are usually highest from June 1 to December 31. -t " Producing . both early and , late broods also will enable the poultrymaa to tnake better use of his buildings, equipment, and range, Morris points out. . This will lower the cost per pullet. In addition, two broods a year will insure a more even supply of eggs to furnish the markets throughout the year. One question often asked about early-batched pullets is: Don't they nave a tendency to go into a molt during the fall? Morris says this is to be expected, 'bub if extra care as given the pullets in the fall this prob lem should Jbe overcome or reduced to a minimum. This extra care us ually includes the use of electric lights to increase the working day to about 13 hours and. feeding wet mash ."xr pellets to help control the molt. Early-hatched chicks can be pro fitable if managed profitably, insists Morris.
