Seasonal/Temporary work from 11/25/2025 - 8/31/2026
This job is of a seasonal nature. A full season of breeding on the poultry farm is approximately 11 months long. The duration of the job is necessary because the chicks are brought to the farm between 21 to 22 1/2 weeks old, and they are kept until approximately 62/63 weeks of age (approximately 41 weeks or 10 months). Once the birds are removed from the farm after 41 weeks/10 months, the workers will spend time intensely cleaning up the houses and preparing for the next round of chicks, which takes approximately 3-5 weeks.
This job opportunity begins 2 months into the current 11-month cycle. This breeding season for this poultry farm began in late September 2025, earlier than expected. The job opportunity start date is November 24, 2025, which is 2 months into the 11 months cycle. The chicks arrived in late September 2025 and will remain on the farm until the end of July 2026. The workers will care for the current chicks until they leave the farm at the end of July 2026. The workers will then use the remaining time until the end date of August 31, 2026 to intensely clean and prepare for the next round of chicks.
The work hours consist of 7-hour days: 8:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m., and 1:00 p.m.- 4:00 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break. Total hours per week is 42. Workers will have one day off per week, which will rotate every week for each worker, so that there is someone available for egg collection each day. For example, Worker #1 might have Sunday off on Week 1 (one), but will rotate to having Monday off on Week 2 (two). Worker #2 might have Monday off on Week 1 (one) and then Tuesday off on Week 2 (two).
The hired hand is responsible for egg collection on the poultry farm, including daily collection of eggs, disinfection and washing of the eggs, ensuring good egg quality by feeling the shell, and storage of the eggs. The worker is also expected to ensure that the hens appear healthy, have access to food and water, and that the pens are clean and not in need of repair.
