Astonishing Returns For Producers

The Dekalb White layer breed is capable of astonishing returns for producers, and it is the most popular white Hendrix Genetics layer hybrid across Europe.

In this short video clip Ed Chetwynd-Talbot of Talbot Farms discusses his positive experience with Dekalb White Egg Layers and looks forward to greater numbers of white egg contracts becoming available in the UK.

For all breeds, Hendrix Genetics look at the full picture and breeding decisions aim to improve the earnings for egg producers, with every new generation. In order to achieve this, selection is not just on total egg numbers, but large emphasis is put on outstanding liveability, premium egg quality and a readily manageable egg size curve.

As a result, Dekalb Whites are known globally for their premium performance and are proving extremely popular amongst a growing number of UK producers.
