Elam and Noah Martin help manage their father’s 6,500 Dekalb XL-
Links
“Four weeks after housing my
second flock of Dekalb-XL’s my total
mortality was 9 hens! Last flock’s
production peaked at 90% and even
after being out of feed one full day
they stijl came back up to 89% again.
I'm anticipating even better records
from this flock’s excellent beginning.”
