What the work involves

SOC 45-2093 represents 100% of the work performed in this chicken hatchery production facility, where employees incubate chicken eggs, hatch chicks, and handle the flow of chicks through separation, order preparation, and shipment to customers.

They place eggs on trays, load trays into incubators, transfer eggs from incubators to hatchers, dump product waste, fill customer chick orders, clean and sanitize the facility and equipment, and perform all other duties as assigned to keep hatchery operations moving from incubation through shipment.
