BURRUNDULLA POULTRY FARM.
A visit to the above poultry farm will convince one that there is no need for those desirous of securing either egg settings or stock birds to send away for them. Mr. Marsh has been connected with the poultry industry for many years, and has been a successful exhibitor at Mudgee and district shows with his Black Orpingtons and White Leghorns. Being a firm believer in fresh blood, Mr. Marsh has just purchased three Black Orpington roosters - two from Mr. Mullins, who won the laying competition in 1922 with his famous Black Orpingtons, and one from the Agricultural College. These are splendid types of birds, especially the latter, which is given pride of place in his pen. Each of these birds is mated with eight well set two-year-old hens of high quality and standard. A Musservay White Leghorn cockerel has also been secured by Mr. Marsh, and is a splendid stamp of bird, being bred from a heavy laying strain. Mated with such noted strains is Ellis', there is nothing better in regard to egg production. A pen of Brown Leghorns, headed by a nicely-shaped cockerel, provides another addition to the farm for those desirous of securing this well known strain. Settings of Indian Runner ducks can also be obtained by anyone desiring these master egg-producers1
