Tips for choosing your poults

Selecting Chicks

- Buy from a reputable hatchery.

- Buy healthy chicks from a U.S. Pullorum-Typhoid Clean
hatchery.

- If possible, work closely with the person from whom you
buy the chicks. If you are new in the poultry business,
the hatcheryman can help you.

- Select the breed or strain for the purpose intended.
There is no really good dual purpose chicken. There are
broiler strains and egg-laying strains of chickens.

- Neighbors who have had good results may give you the
name and address of the hatchery where they buy chicks.
