Profit in Small Flock

The back-yard “farmer” who keeps a few hens has an advantage over his neighbor who has to buy “store” eggs. Town and suburban residents who have tried it know how simple and economical it is to keep a small flock of fowls under semi-intensive treatment. A dozen to twenty-five hens will suffice for a plentiful supply of eggs and little trouble will be entailed, provided strain, stamina and anatomical selection have been properly considered.
