Robust traditional chickens with great laying performance
In our range of colored layers, each product originates from the same and single PS female line, our SASSO SA51A. This results in added flexibility and time saving for you along with all the genetic advantages of our breeder female such as higher hatchability and less mortality. The breeder males come from the laying hens portfolio of Hendrix Genetics, benefiting from their high-quality breeding program and proven laying performance.
Specifically designed for the traditional poultry market, our traditional layers are extremely robust and can resist to any challenging conditions. They can be raised in a range of environments: backyard, free range, or commercial while staying healthy and productive.
These colored layers lines have been specifically bred for their laying genetic traits, including strong egg performance in terms of numbers and egg weight. Our traditional layers females have also been bred to be a heavier hen providing more value for your spent hens. You can also expect a higher value for your males as our colored layers are heavier than a standard layer and come with a wide range of colored phenotypes.
This makes our SASSO colored layers the perfect fit for traditional markets looking for true dual purpose products, offering great value both for eggs and meat. They produce distinctive and non-uniform farmer style eggs, perfect for any small egg producer. Lastly, each laying hen produces feather sexable day-old chicks.
Discover our unique range of traditional layers which are unique by the variety of color they offer. Whether you are looking for distinctive feather colored layers producing brown eggs, or exclusive products offering beautiful and intriguing egg color, SASSO has the right product for you.
