Commissioned in 2007 Hazeldene’s world’s best practice Hatchery, located at East Bendigo, hatches all Hazeldene's chicken stock.  This facility provides exacting quality control, establishing a new global industry benchmark in chick quality.

State of the art equipment from leading Danish suppliers, provides for single-stage incubating and hatching, with improved hygiene and maintenance of consistent conditions throughout the whole incubation period.

Backup power generation, water storage and air conditioning are all part of this new stand alone facility.
Specially equipped Egg Transport trucks pick up eggs from the Breeder Farms and transport them to the Hatchery, for incubating and hatching.

Once hatched, the day old chickens are transported to broiler farms, where the chicks grow until they reach the desired processing weight.
