State of the art hatchery

All our chicks are hatched on our own farm in our modern hatchery building. All chicks are produced from our own eggs from our own flock. We do not buy in chicks or eggs, and we do not offer custom hatching.

We have the latest setters and hatchers installed in a purpose built building in a food safe environment.

Eggs are collected in baskets from our laying pens and then washed. They are washed individually using a purpose built egg washing machine made for us by MS Technologies, the leading experts in egg hygeine. They are they placed on setting trays. All eggs are then passed through our fumigator prior to setting to sterilise the shell. This process provides us with hatch rates far in excess of many of our competitors

They are then stored in our temperature-controlled room until setting day.

On hatch days, birds are taken from the baskets by our team and graded and boxed prior to dispatch to customer or rearing field.

This provides chicks with the best possible start to life. Customers often comment on how well and easy our chicks are to rear.
