Do you know what your feed cost is per lb. of eggs or per dozen of eggs on your present flock? Moyer’s offers you the new DEKALB DK “Inflation fighter” layer. A bird eating .21 lbs. of $2OO/Ton feed will save you 9 C per 100 hens per day over one eating .23 lbs. of $l9O/Tonfeed. On a 60,000 bird flock this amounts to $378 a week difference!
