The book provides an in-depth account of the Corning Egg Farm's methods and systems that have contributed to its reputation as one of the most successful poultry farms in the world. It covers everything from the foundational principles of establishing an egg farm to intricate breeding techniques and production systems. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the Corning Egg Farm, detailing its inception and the various strategies employed to optimize egg production. It describes the initial experiments with different poultry types, including Buff Rocks and Leghorns, before ultimately settling on the Single Comb White Leghorn for its superior egg-laying capabilities. The authors reflect on their learning journey, emphasizing the importance of scientific breeding and feeding methods, as well as the challenges faced in the early years of their venture.
