Of course you do. We suggest that you con
sider the Purina controlled feeding plan for these
reasons:
1. Helps you lower cost about $l2 per 10b
pullets grown, according to Purina Research
Farm tests.
2. Grows a leaner, slower-developing pullet
that lays more eggs and larger eggs when
she comes into production.
3, Grows a hardy bird that lives better under
the strain of heavy production.
The Purina Plan is easy to follow. Ask us about
it before your chicks are 8 weeks old.
