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. 7?t<yet&l4 CHICKS, EBC22DQ Quakertown, PA. 18951 BROWN & WHITE <a«bi EGG LAYERS (215) 536-3155 Good’s Hay Leola, Pa.
