Where Egg Breeds Are Kept

Eggs, of course, are produced Wherever chickens are kept, and by far the greater part of the egg crop comes from the general farm, yet large socalled egg farms have been developed with the main purpose of producing eggs for market. The largest of these egg farms and the greater number of them are located near markets which pay a premium for white eggs; and for this reason, together with the fact that eggs are primarily desired, the breeds kept are those known as the egg breeds, such as Leghorn, Campine, Minorca and Ancona.
