THE CALL OF THE HEN. 



FIG. 30 1-inch pelvic bone. A very beefy type. Almost all 

 the food consumed above that required for bodily maintenance 

 is used in the making of flesh. We find them in the hens that have 

 abdomens from four to six fingers deep. They lay very few eggs. 



FIG. 31 ! 1 /4-inch pelvic bone. This indicates that the hen 

 is of the typical beef type. She is an enormous feeder, hence only 

 found in hens of about six-finger capacity. She will lay practically 

 no eggs.
