As yet, my investments have been small, but with very good results. Inmy opinion, success along poultry lines lies at the root of experimenting,coupled with experience an i plenty of never-tiring, accurate hard work. Iput in last year single comb, clean stock, Cook strain, Rhode Island Reds;this year am running double comb in addition, and am having excellent for-tune.
