Norman Weber, founder of the Elmira business now known as
Pullet Plus, has died. He was 94.
His son, Bruce, expanded the business which specialized in
raising pullets and taking spent hens which he fattened and sold to Asians who
wanted to buy live birds.
Clarence Martin bought the business in 2007 and has expanded
it since.
The chicken market has changed dramatically, opening up many
more opportunities for specialties, often for immigrants and refugees looking
for something more familiar to their tastes and customs.
