WHITAKERS HATCHERIES (SALES) LIMITED

Whitakers Hatcheries (Sales) Limited is a long‑standing pillar of Ireland’s poultry sector, tracing its roots back to Cork in 1905. From modest beginnings packing butter and eggs for export, the company has evolved into a full‑service hatchery and rearing operation that supplies day‑old chicks, pullets and turkeys to growers across the island.

Each year Whitakers rears 1.5 million point‑of‑lay pullets – roughly a third of the national market – offering a wide selection of breeds such as ISA Brown, Shaver, Lohmann, Hyline, Bovan, Warren and Dekalb. Their turkey programme delivers a million birds from hatch to finish, all certified by Bord Bia Quality and suited to both year‑round and seasonal demand (Christmas, Easter). In addition to breeding, the group provides safe, on‑time transport and a dedicated customer‑support service that assists clients before and after sale, helping maximise flock performance through nutrition, vaccination and technical advice.

With a specialised team of flock supervisors, technical sales staff and a managing director who champion quality and customer satisfaction, Whitakers remains a trusted partner for poultry producers seeking reliable, high‑quality stock and expert guidance.
