CHAPTER I, SELECTION OF STOCK 
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 geo- 
graphical location, and one’s own personal 
preference. But there are certain funda- 
mentals which every foundation stock must 
possess, and in the selection of any founda- 
tion stock these must always be considered.
