ANATOMY AND EGGS Capaeity is a necessary quality in a heavy lavine hen.. The evidence of ‘b-pnfil.ly lndlh: hen's body is shown by ti spread o the peivic bones and the distance from the pelvic bomes o the rear eng of the breas: bone. The pelvic bones of the nos-laving hen are what poultry- men term as one finger apart. The peivic bones of the laving hen may be twe or more fingers apart. depending on size of the hen and the rate of preduction. The perpendicular dis- across the abdomen _ from the wear end of the breast bone to the pel- '®le Bome is the best indic=Zon of the jameunt of reserve material the hem is carrying.
