EGG LAYERS
Berg’s White Leghorn
The Berg’s White Leghorn is a very good feed converter with a high rate of lay. Peak production happens by 28 weeks of age at a daily production of 94%. These figures can be reached, but depend on day length, feed quality, water quality, uniformity, floor space, temperature, along with bio security. This seems like a lot to ask for, but remember that in order for these birds to make money for you, you have to put in some money and time too.

For outstanding vigor, size, uniform growth, early maturity, rapid full feathering, heavy egg production and large egg size, these MONEY MAKERS can’t be beaten. This fine strain produces large brown eggs with extra good shell texture and has a yellow skinned carcass free from dark pinfeathers.
Rhode Island Reds
Available May 3 – 28th – unsexed only- $6.05 each
These are an old time, well-known American breed, which was developed in the state of Rhode Island. A distinct characteristic of this breed is their horizontal, oblong body, which is deep, broad and long, sometimes described as “brick shaped”. They are an excellent dual-purpose bird that efficiently produces large brown eggs. From the time they are chicks until maturity, they may have white on the wing tips, but when they are fully matured they should not have any white feathers.
Barred Plymouth Rocks
Available May 3 – 28th – unsexed only – $6.85 each
One of the most popular brown egged dual purpose breeds. These birds are born black with a white spot on their head and as they grow the feathers become barred (black and white). They are a very docile bird with a good rate of lay. They are a dual purpose bird, so when they do slow down in lay, they can be butchered for meat.
