The S. C. Rhode Island Reds at the University of British Columbia came from the Massachusetts Agricultural College, from stock that had been pedigree bred for a number of generations by Dr. Good- ale, the noted Biologist and Geneticist. The male heading the Massachusetts pen was out of a hen that laid 296 eggs ill 365 days, while the hens were of 180 :o 200 egg capacity. Good average egg production had been fixed in these birds l)y their pedigree. They were of good size and of fair type, but variable and generally light in color markings. Hen 130 laid 230 -eggs in her first year and 175 in her second making a good two year average for a Red. She has proved to be a good breeder. Six of her daugh- ters this last year averaged 215 eggs, laying from 194 to 264 eggs each. The eggs from these hens are of good size and texture with fair hatchability. The trapnest records of the first gen- eration of daughters from 130 were not complete, and as such do not appear to be very much above the average of the.
