First Egg-Laying Competition of Show-Birds in Germany, 1937–38. A. Becker. Geflügel-Börse, April 21st, 1939.
Only hens from exposition-breeders were tested. 12 flocks were in the test. Average production 187·8 eggs, average weight 56·4 grammes, mortality 8·3 per cent. This first competition was a great success for the breeders who during years already bred their fowls only for expositions.
