This book unlocks the secrets to assessing the egg-laying ability and productivity of poultry. It equips readers with detailed observations and insights from the author's extensive research and collaboration with leading experts in the field.

Discover how to distinguish birds that lay heavily throughout the season from those that produce minimally. The book delves into the connection between pigmentation and egg-laying, explaining how to assess production levels based on external physical characteristics like beak and shank color. By implementing these methods, poultry keepers can dramatically improve flock performance, increase profitability, and contribute to the wider poultry industry's efficiency and sustainability.
