When we deliver an order of chicks to the grower our in
terest doesn’t stop there. We want a report back to see how
good they look after 14 days in the growing house.
Here some “Report Cards” we’ve received recently. We’re
rather proud of the “grades” we’ve been consistantly getting.
We welcome the chance to be evaluated by your grower.
