by a chick's appearance!
if Chicks look very much alike. It’s the breed
ing and selection inside the chick that
counts. Our testing and control plan behind
Tri-State baby chicks is one assurance that
they’ll grow into sturdy, large-bodied birds . . .
either productive pullets or profitable meat
birds.
if That “Invisible Chick” behind the chick you
see in the box determines rapid growth,
