'The Machine Bird” You know what we mean by “Machine Bird" if you operate a layer complex or your eggs are mechanically processed. The DEKALB K-Line is bred to perform under the stress and strain brought about by multi-aged flocks on the same farm. She has the ability to adapt to about any environment. Eggs from the DEKALB K-Line layer have shells that resist rough handling from long belts and egg gathering machines. In addition to tough, strong shells and superior interior egg quality, she offers the added advantage of good feed conversion. See your representative. Ask about the K-Line or one of our other fine DEKALB layers. 231 'The Early Bird” *-i s r f HR Ibqni c ✓ ' * 30,000 chicks - a comfortable delivery for Moyer's CHICKS, INC.
