An estimated 31,846,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries, up slightly from the previous week and up 6 percent from the comparable week a year earlier.
Placement of broiler chicks in the 15 reporting States totaled 136,799,000, up 1 percent from the previous week and up 1 percent from the comparable week last year. Broiler type hatching eggs set were 179,976,000, up slightly from the previous week and up 3 percent from the corresponding week a year earlier.
