ANOTHER HATCHERY-MAN, A. C. Conrad, who operates the Shell Rock Hatchery at Shell Rock, has been raising started pullets for the last 10 years. He produces about 30,000 started pullets a year. This is about 10 per cent of his total production. Conrad, however, raises his own pullets on open range between two cornfields on a 160 - acre farm. He has two rows of range shelters and each row is about a half mile long. Birds are locked in their shelters at night. He has a simple labor -saving feeding system for the birds on range. When the baby chicks reach an age where they no longer require small feeding troughs, Conrad feeds them right on the ground. An old combine hopper, mounted on rubber - tired wheels with a tractor hitch, is used to haul feed to the pullets. It has a chute at the bottom with an adjustable slide. The demand for started pullets and ready-to-lay pullets apparently has been on the increase in Iowa since the trend toward bigger poultry flocks started a few years ago. One reason is that farmers going into poultry on a big scale with laying flocks of perhaps several thousand birds would rather buy than raise their own. They can buy started pullets almost as cheaply as they can raise them, they don't have to expend the extra labor and they don't have to take the loss risks. Some hatcherymen contend that they can raise started pullets cheaper than the farmer can because they have the equipment and produce them in volume. At any rate, there has been a good market for started pullets in northeast Iowa, particularly in Mitchell, Floyd and Butler counties. Pullets can be purchased in almost any quantity at any age at prices ranging from 70 cents each for two-week-old birds to $1.90 each for 16 - week old birds. The older the bird, of course, the more it costs.September 18, 1960
