Sex-Sal-Link Browns are easy to raise and prolific producers of large, richly colored, brown eggs of excellent shell quality. They are quiet and friendly and easily trained to lay in their nests. They tend to settle for an early in the day lay, so 80 % of your picking will be done by lunch time! They are also very clean in their nests so nesting material lasts! Good ventilation, dry bedding, good laying ration (18%) and controlled lighting are a MUST for peak performance! These are an excellent layer and a friendly bird.

As we reflect on the year as a family of five, in our house one word repeatedly comes to mind. That word is GRATEFUL. Grateful for each other, our amazing staff, our loyal and supporting customers, all the wonderful communities across Canada, and our freedom. Throughout the year, we have collectively and successfully stood through numerous challenges, like Avian Influenza, which present on-going threats to today’s chicken producer and industry. We are grateful for our vet team and staff that have gone to all levels to keep our farm, and hatcheries clean from threats to ensure you are provided with a safe, quality bird for your family and customers.

Looking back on 2025, we are extremely grateful that the pieces have fallen into place. This past season was one for the books with an increase in sales and a decrease in problems! Your feedback is important to help us evaluate and implement changes for the season ahead to serve you better. As we look forward to 2026, we know there will be a new set of challenges, but one thing that will remain the same is our commitment to provide healthy, disease-free, strong chicks treated with the highest level of care. Genetics and breeder health are considered from the start. It does not stop there. Handling the eggs, hatching the chicks, and ensuring your needs are met are consistently reviewed. We know you come to us with a high level of trust to provide you with a high-quality chick. Your positive feedback on your enjoyment with our first year of hatching guinea fowl has ensured availability for 2026. Check out the availability selected dates! Your early order commitment allows us to review scheduling and adapt accordingly.

Rochester Hatchery is a Canadian, family business, and it gives us immense pride to provide your family with your poultry needs for the 2026 season. We thank you for your business and look forward to 2026.

From all of us to all of you, Merry Christmas!

The Mini Classic Turkey is a small sized turkey that offers big advantages. Stocky, hardy, and carefully bred, this turkey brings back all the traditional traits people have always valued. It offers excellent processing flexibility and efficiency without compromising on meat quality or quantity. Whether in specialized setups or free-range environments, the Mini Classic thrives, making it an ideal fit for any farm. Its smaller, convenient size cooks beautifully, delivering tender, flavorful meat with a gorgeous table presentation perfect for even the most special family celebrations.
