In selecting a breed, take into account your purpose as well as the local conditions that may affect fowls and their production. Climatic conditions and the method of management are the most important factors that affect production. The availability of the breed in the locality is another factor that must also be considered. The best breed is one which is available, cheap, and adapted to the locality. Among the Egg Breeds are: Babcock, Dekalb, H & N cross, Kimber, White Leghorn, Micawa, Minorca, Starcross Layers belonging to these foregoing breeds lays an average of 220-250 eggs a year. They usually start laying at about five months of age, or even earlier. White Leghorns 4 These are persistent layers.
