From New Hampshire, hen
Silver Corninh rooster
E
The new Beltsrille broiler is off-
spring of a New Hampshite hen
and a Silver Cornish rooster. By
crossing these two lines research-
ers have produced a chick that
gruws to s three-pound broiler, in
less than 10 weelm. And it lays
more eggs than n.ost meaty chick-
ens.
This is good news to the econ-
omy minded housewife. She’ll no
longer have to wor/y about having
enough chicken in the pot for Sun-
day dinner. These birds have wider
breasts and larger legs. The heads
and feet are small so a lot of waste
is avoided.
The new Beltsville chickens can-
not reproduce their own kind. The
strain breaks down after the first
generation. A setting of Beltsville
«ggs will hatch out into chicka with
the characteristics of the hen or
the rooster, but not both.
Poultry raisers must therefore
develop their flocks from the Sil-
ver Cornish rooster* and the New
Hampshire liens. But any breeder
cun get eggs of the crossbreed by
purchasing the males and letting
them run in flocks of females. New
Hampshire hens are predominant
among broiler growers, but there
is a demand for the new Silver
Cornish which greatly exceeds the
supply.
"We're still trying to improve
both Stocks so as to get a better
broiler," say* Dr. C. W. Knox, Ag-
riculture Research Service geneti-
cist who started the experimental
/
What the researchers aimed for
and achieved waa a chicken of
good structure that would produce
a maximum of meat in 10 weeks
in addition to laying a greater
quantity of eggs.
'They found that New Hampshire
stock was plentiful and beet for
rapid growth, but it lacked egg
laying ability and ita feathers were
dnrk. A light feathered bird can
he picked cleaner and looks nicer.
So a Silver Cornish was devel-
oped to offset these poor factor*.
It was bred fiom a formidable
group of ancestors which included
White Wyandottea, Light Sussex,
Rhode Island Reds, Dark Cornish,
und Columbians. ,
Held Monday
-V
The scientists worked five year*
to improve both breeds before an
actual crossing was attempted.
They wanted to emphasise com-
pactness, breast width, leg sixe,
and egg production.
Only a small number of the
hefty broilers are on the market
so far. At a Tri-8tate Fair in West
Virginia last fall a quarter of a
million broiler* were bought and
the Beltaville type outsold all oth-
ers. This, however, has been the
only major purchase. ‘ .
Poultry experts are presently
aiming for a broiler with an even
wider breast, a growth period of
eight weeks and higher egg output.
But Dr. Knox thinks he and his
staff may soon reach the .point
where nothing more can be done.
You know,” he says, “all good
things have to come to an end.”
