28,000 DeKalb Layers
Mrs. Fink explains to Moyer’s Chicks, Inc. representative, Harold Mishler why she’s pleased
with the DK Layer: “I’m looking for the best bottom line bird I can get. Three important
economic “edges” this bird gives me are: (1) early production with good sizing (means lower
pullet cost til they start paying their way) (2) excellent liveability and quiet temperament (less
than Vz per cent per period means more eggs per hen housed (3) excellent shell and interior
quality.
I also appreciate Moyer's service personnel whose interest doesn’t stop just with the sale.
I’m pleased to say I’ve asked Moyer’s to grow me DK replacement pullets for my second
layer house.”
If you'd like to hear more about the DK and see some actual local records give us a call.
