Chick Production

Chick production by hatcheries during January was 206, 266, 000
chicks--up 1 percent from January 1962, according to the Crop Reporting
Board. Of this number 174, 990, 000 were broiler chicks, up 1 percent
from January last year. The number of eggs in incubators on February 1,
1963 indicates that the hatch of broiler chicks in February 1963 will be
larger than the hatch in February 1962.

During January 1963, there were 31, 276, 000 egg-type chicks
hatched--up 3 percent from January 1962. The number of eggs in incu-
bators on February 1 indicates a larger hatch of egg-type chicks in Febru-
ary 1963 than in February 1962. Estimates for chick production in Hawaii
are included in the United States totals for 1962 and 1963.



Poult Production

Production of heavy breed poults during January 1963 was 2, 718, 000
down 14 percent from January 1962. Output of heavy white breeds at
1, 508, 000 was 24 percent less than in January 1962. The number of other
heavy breed poults hatched (mostly broad-breasted bronze) was 1, 210, 000,
up 3 percent from January 1962. Production of light breed poults totaled
605, 000--up 64 percent from January last year. The number of turkey
eggs in incubators on February 1, 1963 indicates that the hatch of poults
(both heavy and light breeds) in February 1963 will be larger than in Febru-
ary 1962.
