It appears that relatively few flock owners are familiar with the advantages of early hatching, but those who do their hatching early find it a distinct benefit. For Instance, one farmer says, Last year all of my chickens hatched after the first of June were runts. Those before that were normal and were laying In October. The same care and feed were given to all of them. Another observes, When I get my chicks hatched in April and May I do not have runts In my flock. Still another estimates that of late hatches are runty. Hatch no chicks later than May 1, he says. Of equal Interest are the warnings against Inbreeding. We have no runts In our poultry Is the statement of a Virginia farmer, who adds, We buy purebred cocks from a different strain every year.
