How much are 10 eggs worth? 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 meant about 3Vz lbs. less feed to 50% production. Make sure you’re reajizing the maximum potential from your layer flock. 7ffayen,'& CHICKS, Ouakertown, PA. 18951 BROWN & WHITE <siee EGG LAYERS 1 *) 530-3 1 55 N. E.
