It is interesting to note that all four flocks rise rapidly in production in February, reach a peak some time in March and then slowly decline. From February on, the production in all flocks tended to follow similar curves. This would seem to indicate that date of hatch, management and history of production previous to March 1 has little or no effect on spring laying. . Individual farms fluctuated more widely in production than is shown in the curve of average production in Figure 8. The averaging of all farms tends to smooth the production curve. In the case of Flock 3, the variation was from 12% to 72% â a spread of 60%. Flock 6 consisted largely of early hatched pullets. These birds laid heavily in July, August and September, then declined in production and went through a molting or rest period of about two months, when they dropped as low as 20%. The flock began to pick up m production in December, reaching a peak of 52%) about the first of March. Flock 4 also early hatched, declined in production from July to September, after which it averaged about 36% for over four months. In February and March, it increased in production and held at over 60% for a period of 13 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original
