OFF IN CORN AND CHIX 
DEKALB CHIX — Live + Lay « Pay 
Ten years after the first seed corn was sold, DeKalb started inbreeding standard-bred 
strains of chickens. After several years of development, crosses of those inbreds were offered 
to the public as DeKalb Chix. These birds are developed primarily for high egg production 
and low death loss—these two items making for greatest feed efficiency. The success of 
DeKalb Chix has been phenomenal and now they are sold all over the United States.

“Tn March of 1953 we received 600 DeKalb 101 pullets and housed 583 of these. 
They started laying at 4 months. These chickens have really kept their production 
better than anything we have ever had to date, even with an attack of chicken-pox. 
We have lost only 12 since they were housed. 
“This year we purchased 800 DeKalb 101 pullets. They are 13 weeks old; we 
have lost 4 through natural causes. We really like our DeKalb Chix and it’s all 
DeKalb for us.’—Mrs. C. Scoot BEnper, Rt. 1, Elliottsburg, Pa.
