'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.
