The other American Poultry Journal

However WLOPS also lists 42 American Poultry Journal with a different publisher. Seems there is a competition. Egg Producers edition , 43 Turkey Producers ed 41 Broiler prod ed none of these sighted by me. This is the original and the best ( the claim on the front) it Has a different logo and style. Beware of mixing the two. The entries are shown on the picture.
