In 1979, Moyer's Chicks hatched 9!4 million babychicks, double that of
1975. Our expansion has occurred because the DeKalb XL-Link has
become the most asked for leghorn and because the capacity & unit sizes of
you, our customers, are increasing.
We can comfortably handle orders of 60,060 and more, however, early
ordering will assure you the dates you prefer.
