When your flock is Ames In-Cross
400 senes white egg layer, you’ll
get more eggs that grade large.
That’s because the characteristic of
large egg size is carefully bred into
each Ames In-Cross chicken. You
get high consistent production,
too, which means you’ll get more
eggs that grade large and bring
those top market prices. With
proper management, the Ames In-
Cross white eg g bird will produce
a dozen eggs on about 4.1 pounds
of feed.
This is the profit making combina
tion you’ll find in the Ames In-
Cross 400 series •white egg bird
... high consistent production .. .
uniformly big eggs and excellent
feed conversion. Plan to make
your next flock Ames In-Cross
400 series white egg birds.
