Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 144: April 1950 Hatcheries are half-way through the 1950 season for producing baby chicks for laying flock replacement. However, it is still too early to estimate the number of chickens to be raised in 1950. In past years early-season chick hatchings and young chicken holdings on farms have proven.to be unsatisfactory for estimating numbers to be raised during the entire season. (see table So far, reports do not bear out farmers' intentions (as of February) to buy 12 percent fewer chicks than a year ago. January through April hatchery volume will be very near to last year's; and from.indications on April 1, 1950, numbers of chicks and young chickens on farms were 8 percent larger than last year. However, the April hatchery report indicated 10 percent fewer eggs in incubators on April 1 this year compared with last and a substantial drop in May orders fram l9h9. Thus it is quite possible that expectations of a small late season hatch will materialize and.that the actual numbers of chicks sold may more closely approximate the February intentions than has been so far indicated.
