Mixed U.S. Broiler Hatchery Situation
WASHINGTON - Mar 5/08 - SNS -- Broiler hatchery activity in the United States Broiler managed a mixed performance across the seven days closing March 1, 2008, judging from the latest USDA statistics.

Average hatchability for chicks hatched during the week was 83%. Average hatchability is calculated by dividing chicks hatched during the week by eggs set three weeks earlier.
