How much are 10 eggs worth?
15-61,
60-74,
Here’s an example of what a proper lighting pro
gram can mean to you when you own a flock of
DEKALBS. The two hen day production lines don’t
look much different. But the 2 week earlier maturity
meant 10 more eggs. It also m,eant about 3Vz lbs. less
feed to 50% production. Make sure you’re realizing
the maximum potential from your layer flock.
