(Post photo) Oregon Grown Fryers Develop Personality The young chicken may well be the most researched animal in this much-researched world. Continuous study has changed the Oregon fryer’s genes, diet, family life, physical e n v io i m en t and life expectant According to the Agri-Busine. Council, this research has even changed the fryer’s personality. Back about 1940, the fryer could best be described as a “scrawny, blue-looking object that tastes good in spite o f its u n fo r tu n a te appearance.” Today’s fryer, with his genes all properly rearranged, looks as good as it tastes. Last year 13,531,455 o f thee modem fryers, with broad breasts and thick drumsticks, were grown in Oregon. The fryer’s diet, too, has gone through some startling changes in recent years. In the 1 9 4 0 ’s, fryers reached 3 pounds in 14 weeks on 4(4 pounds o f feed for each pound o f chicken. Now, 3-pound fryers are grown in 8 weeks with just 2(4 pounds of feed per pound o f chicken. In bygone days, growers would explain their 20 by 20 foot chicken coops partly as a measure o f disease control and partly as a means of preventing piling up and cannibalism. An unaccustomed noise might cause a whole population o f fryers to pile up in a comer with many resulting deaths; or an epidemic of cannibalism might occur, eliminating many lives. Today, it is not uncommon to see 40,000 fryers in one pen. Neither the 40,000 chickens nor their owners seem concerned about the old problems of piling up or cannibalism. Perhaps the geneticists. besides getting rid o f the scrawny blue look through c o m p lic a te d b r e e d in g t e c h n iq u e s , h ave also eliminated some o f the fryer’s antisocial tendencies. Or perhaps the streamlined diet and b e tte r p h y sic a l envioronment have reduced tension and frustration. In any event, contented Oregon fryers keep increasing in numbers while producing tastier drumsticks and white meat faster and more efficiently than ever before. Growers received $8,553,717 for their fryers during 1968. A trend in the industry sees growers becoming fewer in number but larger in volume. Of the state’s 164 fryer growers, Delmer Stutzman of Canby is the largest. Each year, he raises 600,000 fryers. Fryers bearing the “Grown in Oregon” label can go from the farm to store in the same day, insuring consumers that they are purchasing the freshest, m ost flavorful fryers obtainable. Since 1958, the Oregon Fryer Commission has been busy explaining the advantages of buying fresh fryers. During this period, a dramatic 62 percent increase in the consumption o f local, mentally well-balanced fryers has occured.
