[Fraser Niederer photos. A contrast in crossbred pullets. Left-An Australorp-White Leghorn cross with good depth of abdomen which is a promising sign. Depth is measured from the socket of the tail to the rear end of the keel (breastbone). Right-A very poor type of crossbred pullet with cut-away abdomen and poor feathering. Such long-legged birds are usually slow in developing and low in laying ability.
