 Gurney’s Chicks Come Only 
From Carefully Culled Flocks 
_ Every egg set in Gurney’s large hatchery comes from 
flocks inspected, culled, and approved by our own hatchery- 
Rs _ g@ men. Every flock is carefully culled 
<4) to retain only those birds of perfect 
body type, high-producing laying 
ability, and good health and vigor, 
When the males heading the flock are 
not from superior strains, they are 
replaced with males from flocks with 
high egg records. This blood counts 
in making Gurney’s chicks superior. 
GURNEY’S BETTER BREEDING 
MEANS MORE PROFIT FOR YOU 
It costs you no more to raise a high-producing chick than 
a scrub chick, but where the scrub chick often loses you 
money or makes only a small 
amount of profit, a high-produc- 
ing strain will make you good 
profits. 








Don’t waste your time and feed 
on chicks of doubtful origin. It 
isn’t worth it. This year, insist 
on Gurney’s guaranteed high-pro- 
ducing strains and pocket EXTRA 
PROFITS. 




A high - producing 
Gurney chick 
doesn’t cost any 
more to raise and 
makes a profit. 
A scrub chick eats 
as much as a good 
chick and still 
may lose you 
money.

Gentlemen: Last April 18th we bought 600 
White Leghorns, Super grade, from you and we 
must say we never saw such a lively bunch and 
every day we could see them grow. Of course, 
we fed them the best and took good care of 
them but they were sure fine chicks. Aug. 26th 
we received our first pullet eggs. Now I pick up 
26 doz. eggs a day. Next s ring we want to get 
1,000 of your chicks. Than you. 
Very sincerely,

_ HYBRID CHICKS 
Healthier 




Lay Better—Grow Faster—Are 


th some of our best White Rock 
we obtain this hybrid which has the 
g ability of the Leghorn and the 
the Rocks. But they have proved 
ys superior to both—laying earlier 
maturing more rapidly and being 
ISEASE RESISTANT. Easy to raise. 
Gurney’s WHITE ROCKS—One of the best 
of the dual-purpose breeds. Snow white 
plumage, fast maturing, rapid feathering, yel- 
low colored skin, free from pin feathers. 
Lay large brown eggs bringing top market 
prices. 
Gurney’s BARRED ROCKS—The favorite 
on many farms. Barred Rocks are large in 
size, fast maturing, rapid feathering, make 
good broilers or heavy roasters. They produce 
large brown eggs. Gurney’s have improved 
these by careful culling and mating with 
pedigreed males, 
Gurney’s WHITE WYANDOTTES — These 
are the deep breasted birds among the first 
to go to market. Very good broilers. Will 
reach 2 to 3 pounds quickers than most any 
variety. Good rustlers—pick up all waste 
seed on the farm. Easy to raise and mature 
rapidly. 
Gurney’s BUFF ORPINGTONS — This is 
Gurney’s giant strain of Buff Orpingtons, 
especially good winter layers due to their 
large bodies and heavy plumage. These eggs 
come on the market when it is the highest. 
Make good heavy capons or heavy roasters. 
If you are interested in winter eggs and 
heavy meat birds, here’s the variety for you. 
Gurney’s RHODE ISLAND REDS—These 
deep red Rhode Island Reds are favorites on 
many farms. Strong and rugged. They are 
next to Leghorns in egg production. Gur- 
ney’s Reds are quick féathering, fast matur- 
‘ing and will be ready for the early market. 
‘They lay large, brown eggs. 

Gurney’s NEW HAMPSHIRES—This is often 
called the Leghorn of the heavy breeds, be- 
cause it has heavy egg production like the 
Leghorn and still has the heavy weight of the 
heavy breeds. They mature rapidly and have 
vigor and hardiness of the White Leghorn 
and replace the White Leghorn on many 
farms due to their good size. They lay large 
brown eggs. 
Gurney’s WHITE GIANTS—These are well 
named for they are the extra large chickens— 
cockerels are excellent for caponizing, often 
weighing 12 pounds or more. Capons bring 
good prices on the market. Pullets are good 
layers and their size makes them desirable 
in every way. Brown eggs. 
Gurney’s HEAVY ASSORTED—These are 
assorted chickens left over from the day’s 
shipping in the heavy breeds. Often they 
come from the very top grades so it is a 
bargain you can’t afford to miss. 
Gurney’s ALL BREEDS ASSORTED (40% 
Heavies). These are chickens selected from 
those left at the end of the day’s shipping 
and-.often times of the very best breeds. We 
guarantee to ship 40% of the heavy breeds 
with this lot. You can’t go wrong and will 
really save you money.
