It began with sixty Buff Rock eggs and grew into a famous egg business. Corning tells exactly how he did it: switching to White Leghorns, building roosting closets, and counting only the chicks that live. A candid, numbers-driven account of one of America's model egg farms. The real ledger behind a poultry success story.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
