The farm currently accommodates 17 breeding sites into which flocks of 7,000 breeder chickens are placed every 62 weeks in a 5-week cycle. Breeders are reared according to strict technical specifications. At an approximate age of 22 weeks, the breeders have matured and start laying eggs. These eggs are transported to the chicken hatchery where, after disinfection and grading, they are placed in setters for a period of 18 days. They are then transferred to the hatchers for 3 days in order to complete the hatching process.
