On what do you base your decisions? The quoted 20 week
old price?
Here's a few pertinent questions to ask yourself about your last
delivery:
1. Did the quoted price include delivery?
2. Were the birds fed to optimum body weight?
3. How many pounds of feed did they consume to reach 50%
production?
4. At what age did they reach 50% large eggs?
Once you know these facts you are ready to do some intelligent
buying.
