White Leghorns These active graceful birds are most popular for their efficient production of white shelled eggs. The average Mediterranean flock excels all others in the number and weight of eggs laid, and in using the least feed per bird and per egg produced. Certain markets pay a premium for these white-shelled eggs. They are easily hatched, chicks are hardy, pullets mature early, are non-sitters and good foragers. Being small and active, they need special fences to confine them, and well constructed winter laying houses. They are best marketed for meat as broilers. The Minorca is an exception to some of the character- istics of this class. It is much larger, and is white skinned instead of yellow. Its eggs are the largest of all our fowls, and it often equals the Leghorns in egg production in weight, if not in number. The most pop- ular black fowl.

BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS II. THE AMERICAN CLASS OF GENERAL-PURPOSE BREEDS Farm and Home poultry keepers appreciate the modern egg strains of these excellent table fowls. They hold many individual and flock records for egg production, being especially good winter layers. They are active but docile, lay brown eggs, are yellow-skinned, and beautifully plumaged. Their growth is rapid, reach maturity nearly as early as the Mediter- raneans, and attain much greater size. The Plymouth Rocks are especially popular for broilers, roasters, and capons.
