LEG-ROCK HYBRID 
Best Hybrid for Eggs 
By crossing our outstanding Wh. 
Leghorn males with some of our 
best White Rock females, we obtain 
this hybrid which has the egg-laying 
ability of the Leghorn and the size 
of the Rocks. But they have proved 
in many ways superior to both—lay- 
ing earlier and more, maturing more 
rapidly and being very DISEASE 
RESISTANT. Easy to raise. 
Gurney’s HEAVY ASSORTED — 
These are assorted chickens left 
over from the day’s shipping in the

SORTED (40% Heavies). These are 
chickens selected from those left 
at the end of the day’s shipping

save you money. 
Gurney’s NEW HAMPSHIRES —

the heavy breeds, because it has 
heavy egg production like the Leg- 
horn and still has the heavy weight 
of the heavy breeds. They mature 
rapidly and have vigor and hardi- 
ness of the White Leghorn and 
replace the White Leghorn on many 
farms due to their good size. They 
lay large brown eggs.

THIS IS THE YEAR 

1947 is the year, of all years, to make money on Gurney chicks. 
With the meat supply of the nation and world in bad shape, with 
prices high and going higher, with feed plentiful, it’s bound to be 
the year to clean up on chickens—whether you grow them to sell 
or use on your own place. 
SUPPLY OF CHICKS WILL BE SHORT 
Because of these conditions, the supply of baby chicks is bound to be short. 
This is especially so of NORTHERN PRODUCED chicks—the healthy, strong, 
“able to take it” kind that are produced by Gurneys. Our best advice to you 
chicken growers is to get your orders in early. Don’t delay a minute. Let us 
know what you will need and when. The early orders get first choice this year, 
as always. But this year it will mean more to you than ever before. 
You want your chicks on the best dates. Decide on those dates today. Send 
in your order and be sure you get what you want. 
Some FACTS 
About Gurney Chicks 
Every egg set in the 
hatchery comes from flocks 
that are carefully BLOOD 
TESTED and inspected by 
Gurney inspectors with 
years of experience. Each 
bird in these flocks is 
banded with our own sealed 
band so that we have a com- 
plete record of every bird 
in every flock. 
Most of our flock owners 
have been with us for years 
and therefore through their 
cooperation we have been 
able to introduce and breed 
into their flocks some of the 
outstanding bloodlines of 
America. 
All flock feeding and 
housing is supervised by 
Gurney trained hatchery- 
men to give you chicks from 
eggs that are properly 
cared for and hatch good 
sturdy chicks that will live 
and produce a profit for you. 
THE BEST ONLY 
Only birds of perfect 
body type, high-producing 
laying ability, and good 
health and vigor are allowed 
to produce eggs for Gurney 
chicks. This is your guar- 
antee of quality.

WHERE GURNEY CHICKS ARE HATCHED 
This is the big hatchery at Yankton, brand new, 
with brand new equipment last year, where 
Gurney chicks are hatched for you. Nothing finer 
in the whole Northwest. 
Better Breeding Means 
Bigger 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-producing 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-producing strains 
and pocket EXTRA PROFITS. 
Gurney Breeds Are Good Layers 


= Ss 
Good laying chickens come about from good 
breeding—and good breeding only. That’s why 
we say “Get your baby chicks at Gurney’s and 
BE SURE of laying quality.” Breeding stock is 
the most important concern of the Gurney 
Hatcherymen. That’s why Gurney chickens are 
good layers. Their laying ability is bred into the 
chickens.
