The Seven Fundamentals.
The first factor to be considered in the success of any poultry business is the foundation stock. The kind of birds one will finally select will depend upon the type of business one wishes to go into, the market, the geographical location, and one's own personal preference. But there are certain fundamentals which every foundation stock must possess, and in the selection of any foundation stock these must always be considered.
These factors are seven in number, and are as follows: (1) Vigor, (2) Egg-laying Ability, (3) Size, (4) Climatic Conditions, (5) Freedom from Diseases, (6) Kind of Market, and (7) Type of Business.
