POULTRY BREEDING.
To the Editor. Sir, —I shoil'd be glad if any of your readers er those learned in the art of poultry breeding would offer some explanation of the following singular circumstance which occurred to me lately On the 4th of last month I put twelve eggs under a sitting hen, and it was not until the 27th that the first chicken came out; the next day six broke their shells, and one on each of the two following days, thus being respectively too, three, four, and five days behind time. The other three ega were had. I send you this in the Lope 1 batata publication may prevent amateur poultry breeders from being in two great a hurry to condemn their eggs, should they aeo no result at the usual time.—l am, &c., Amateur. Dunedin, November 4.
