No. we didn’t diversify into the motel business! But the point is
we hate to have to display a ’’Sorry, No Vacancy”-sign to
customers preferring the “AAA” chicks and started pullets
they’ve come to expect from Moyer’s. Choice of hatch dates and
hatch egg availability are going fast.
And, oh yes. we do like to think our growing pullets get some of
the best of care well, maybe not a private pool and air con*
drtioning!
If during the remaining days of February you give us a call or
drop us a note with your orders for 1982 you can earn a 1%
rebate. This applies to pullet chick or started pullet orders of
2500 or more. Mention this ad when you order.
