Pat Comments: “This is my first flock of Moyer’s DEKALB. I am impressed by the “forgivability" of
these birds. Their production remains very stable through temperature, environment or mechanical
stresses. My XL’s peaked at'over 92% and at 44 weeks are still over 88%! Livability is over 98% of
the total birds housed.”
