Last Thursday morning about 1 a.m., 27,000 chickens were delivered to Western Slope Layers on Powell Mesa. They will now reside in this large chicken house and a fenced area, once it is completed.

The first load of 27,000 chickens arrived in the wee hours of Thursday, May 26, at the Edwin Hostetler ranch on Powell Mesa. The chickens had been ordered six months ago. They arrived by truck from Illinois.
