Likes Wene's 

 Leghorn-Minor cas 



For the past two years I have boughl 

 Leghorn-Minorca cross from you and 

 they certainly beat anything 1 evei 

 had on every count. They grow very 

 fast from start and develop into fine 

 large birds that weigh 5 and 6 lbs. 

 on an average, also heavy layers 

 of large chalk white eggs which were 

 graded extra large and we get very 

 few mediums after they have been 

 laying for a time. 



We are jus' as pleased this year. 

 They are laying fine. I like them sc 

 much I have ordered 500 pullet chicks 

 for the Spring, of the Leghorn-Minorca 

 cross, as you know.

Wene Sex-Links 

 Big Egg Producers 



Mr. Michael Fenelli, New Jersey: 

 "Have bought 15,000 Sex Link chicks 

 from you . . . had better results 

 from your chicks than any others ] 

 ever purchased. During past winter 

 I received 68% (egg production) all 

 winter and 72% in spring-time." 



Small Side-Line 

 Flock Prolitable 



I have always had the best of luck 

 with Wene Chicks. I am a poultry 

 raiser only as a small side line, 1 

 am a cowman. 



Of the 100 Wene chicks I received from 

 you April 28, 1945, I have raised 96, 

 92 hens, 4 roosters. The pullets are 

 weighing from 4V2 to 5V4 lbs. and I 

 got 4 eggs from them today. I have 

 always made money on Wene 

 chickens. I always raise Wene Barred 

 Rocks. Frank L. Baker, Wellsboro, Pa. 



WHITE LEGHORNS 



"If you can sell lots of big, fancy white 

 eggs at good prices, we suggest Wene 

 White Leghorn Baby Chicks, particularly 

 sexed pullets. Produced from 50,000 

 two to five-year-old HEN BREEDERS— 

 no pullets — laying eggs averaging 25 

 to 30 ounces per dozen — shells chalk- 

 white. 25,000 U. S. - N. J. certified hen 

 breeders. All headed by Official 200-300 

 egg R.O.P. sires. Every record official — 

 not a private home record."

 LEGHORN-MINORCAS 



"Minorcas are generally considered to 

 lay some of the biggest white eggs 

 produced by any chicken. White Leg- 

 horns of the breeding shown above are 

 crossed with this fine chicken to produce 

 one of the most rugged, heaviest-laying 

 large-type white fowl known to egg 

 farmers. Phenomenal egg production. 

 Extra big chalk-white eggs. Many pre- 

 fer these chickens above all." 



WENEcross Red Rocks 

 Sex-Link 



"WENEcross Sex-Link Red Rocks are 

 produced by crossing our select Rhode 

 Island Red males described below with 

 heavy-laying Barred Rock females (next 

 page). Many farmers are switching to 

 this heavy laying cross. It's so extra 

 rugged that even in the coldest climates 

 it produces phenomenally in zero 

 weather. Many big broiler specialists 

 choose these cockerels to produce fat, 

 fast-maturing fowl for the fancy broilei 

 market." 



RHODE ISLAND REDS 



In the egg-laying contests, Rhode Island 

 Reds hold the World's Record over all 

 breeds. Individual records of 300 eggs 

 and over are frequent. Our birds have 

 long rectangular bodies with abundant 

 breast meat; they dress out well, with 

 a rich yellow skin. The pullets make 

 excellent layers of good-sized brown 

 eggs. For a number of years now we 

 have mated all our U. S. Certified flocks 

 100% with R.O.P. males for our Super X 

 Rhode Island Red Chicks. They are 

 money-makers. 



WENE Don't overlook the opportunity to buy sexed pullets if you are only interested in egg 

 SEXED production. It takes one-half the brooding space to produce the number of mature 

 PULLETS pullets desired and you get better growth when the pullets are raised alone.
