The brown egg birds you asked for -
Before the development of the Hy Line 717 layer began Hy Line geneticists asked brown
egg producers like you all over the world which traits they needed in their layers
High egg producbon. exceptional livability, efficient feed conversion and high egg quality
were most often menhoned and in that order Those baits account for the largest share
of brown egg profits
So Hy Line researchers screened 35 unrelated lines they had developed, and put the best
of them together in the combination that produced the Hy Line 717 layer
Look at the high points of
You Asked (or High Egg Quality.
Hy-Line 717 lays high quaßty eggs.
Your customers want the best eggs good sized, with a robust brown color, strong
shells, and with a minimum of inferior faults So Hy-Line researchers tested thousands and
thousands of eggs for these traits, all to make sure that your egg customers get what they
want
In field tests, this work paid off The Hy-Lme brown's eggs averaged 24.6 ounces per dozen
at 32 weeks of age At 74 weeks, the eggs averaged 27.5 ounces per dozen, just right for
your cartons and your customers
You asked (or high egg quality
produce high quality eggs
You Asked for High Egg Production
Hy-Line 717 layers art bred to lay 260-270 eggs per bird!
Egg numbers first on your list, and so, first on the Hy-Line researchers' list 100. Field
tests indicate the new Hy Line brown has the genetic ability to produce 260-270 eggs under
good conditions between the ages of 20 and 74 weeks. Those same conditions have
produced two-week peak production rates of 85-90%.
You asked for high egg production The Hy-Line 717 is bretffor it
You Asked (or Exceptional livability.
Hy-Line 717 birds are bred to live exceptionally well.
In field testing poultrymen have housed 96 to 98% of their pullets at 20 weeks And after 12
months of production, 92-96% of the birds housed were still on the job. producing eggs.
You asked for exceptional livability. The Hy-Line brown is bred to meet that need
You Asked for Efficient Feed Conversion,
Hy-Line 717 layers averaged 2.7 His. feed per pound of eggs.
Of all your production costs, feed is the highest When your layers produce more eggs per
ton of feed, your profits increase rapidly. Hy-Line 717 layers averaged about 4.0 S lbs. of
feed per 24 ounces of eggs 2.7 lbs. of feed per pound of eggs in field tests
You asked for reduced productaon costs, better feed conversion Hy-Line browns are bred
to fill your request.

The white egg bird you NEED!
High peak . tough shells
great feed conversion .
Hyiine Variety W-36 puts 'em together
Egg producers love high peaks, tough shells and great feed conversion But in the past these
traits have not been readily available in one chicken
Until now. Here's the new improved white egg layer. Hy-Lme variety W 36 She peaks high
higher than any previous Hy-Lme variety She keeps laying at a livelier rate too And the
shells on those eggs are up to Hy-Lme standards for toughness even after 12 months of
heavy producbon.
You'll note outstanding feed conversion-more eggs per unit of feed.
And her livability is what you'd expect from a Hy Line brand layer, too-the best We think
you'll find W-36 egg weight about ideal for optimum efficiency and profit
Incidentally, W 36 gives unusually dry droppings and has an easy-to care for temperament
Hy Line scientists figure profit, not single traits, are your bag Twenty more eggs don't
mean much if those eggs don't have shells on 'em or if they come at the expense of 30
lbs (13 SK) extra feed . or if they're all peewees
The shells on those eggs are typical of Hy Line layers Tough Even after 12 months of
heavy production
Hy-Lme W 36 layers go easy on feed. Great feed conversion In fact, the first time you
measure it, you may not believe how little feed your W-36 layers take to produce a dozen
eggs
So Hy-Lme researchers patiently developed a bird that puts it all together for you -the Hy-
Lme variety W-36 layer. They tested it for 6 years in operafaons like yours They checked the
obvious traits-egg production, feed conversion, livability, egg size, and especially, shell
strength And they watched the not-so-obvious Haugh Units, droppings condition, and
temperament, for example.
So now you have the Hy Line variety W-36 egg layer-a bird Hy Line President H 6 Wallace
considers as the third major genetic breakthrough he has seen in his 35 years of layer
breeding
Even so, Hy-Lme researchers have begun improvements on the W-36 For example,
they're selecting its grandparent lines for smaller body weight-to increase feed efficiency
without losing egg size
And, of course, the Hy-Lme team is working on the fourth major genetic breakthrough
continuous research to make egg producbon even more rewarding for you
See what Hy-Lme profit-centered research has done for you. Put Hy-Lme variety W-36
layers to work in your operation W-36-she puts it together'
