"PREMIUM PERFORMANCE"
-
The Dekalb White was developed in Dekalb, IL, and has a true American heritage, going back its beginning in the 1940's.
- Unlike all other white egg layers, the Dekalb White can lay over 500 eggs in just 100 weeks, (Week 18 to 100), just 82 weeks of egg production, even in pastured operations and backyard settings!
-
Dekalb Poultry is a Hendrix Genetics company.
-
This bird is derived from a cross between two White Leghorn lines. The Dekalb White is an exceptional white egg-layer which produces a large to extra large white egg. This is our absolute highest egg producer!
-
She is known to be quite docile, a trait which most Leghorns are not well known for, while being smart and agile enough to avoid predators that may be drawn to her stark white feather color!
- This breed rivals all other commercially produced white egg layer lines and is one of the best white egg layer lines on the market today!
The Dekalb White:
- Outstanding livability and excellent behavior
- Highly productive and excellent feed conversion
- Successful in every housing system
- Superb eggshell quality
- Great egg laying persistency
- Largest number of premium quality eggs
Give the Dekalb White a try and see why she is known globally as one of the best white egg layers!
