SALISBURY, MD. — Perdue Farms announced its adoption of the “NestBorn” on-farm hatching concept into its broiler production and supply chain. This innovative approach to hatching day-old chicks in broiler farms instead of in hatcheries fits into the company’s commitments to animal care and No Antibiotics Ever. In the summer of 2023, Perdue became the first establishment in the United States to house a NestBorn Egg Placing Machine. The machine was installed as a demonstration near Perdue’s headquarters on the Delmarva peninsula to more efficiently transfer larger volumes of pre-incubated hatching eggs into broiler barns.
