We are not obliged to raise our best myites and females from separate pens. We do not have to keep two breeds or distinct strains, one to produce exhibi- tion pullets and another to produce exhibition males. We can raise both from one blood, one mating or one pen, there are treneratioiis of good blood back of them. Try ours and see if they don't breed better color and true to comb than what you have.
