Key Responsibilities

Animal Handling and Poultry Care:

Handle live chickens safely, calmly, and with appropriate care throughout all assigned poultry farm tasks including catching, moving, counting, loading, transferring, and managing birds across the various housing, production, and processing areas of the chicken farming operation, applying the correct handling techniques taught during on-site training to minimize bird stress, injury, and welfare compromise at every stage of the handling process
Perform all animal handling tasks with consistent attention to the biosecurity protocols and animal welfare standards applicable to Canadian poultry farming operations, following the farm’s specific handling procedures and any applicable federal and provincial poultry welfare regulations that govern the treatment of live birds throughout the production cycle
Monitor the condition and behaviour of chickens throughout the working shift, observing birds for signs of illness, injury, distress, abnormal behaviour, or welfare concerns and reporting all observations to the farm supervisor promptly and accurately for appropriate assessment and timely intervention before individual bird health issues develop into flock-wide problems
Assist with all stages of the chicken production cycle as directed by the farm supervisor, contributing to the daily poultry management routines that maintain healthy flock conditions, appropriate stocking densities, and the consistent production environment that a commercially productive Canadian chicken farming operation requires throughout every phase of the grow-out cycle

Physical Farm Labour and General Duties:

Perform all physically demanding farm labour tasks associated with chicken farming operations across the various rural locations, including lifting and carrying heavy loads of up to the required weight handling capacity, standing for extended periods across full shift hours, walking across farm buildings and yard areas, and bending, crouching, and kneeling repeatedly throughout each shift in conditions that include dust and farm odours characteristic of enclosed poultry housing environments
Complete all repetitive physical tasks assigned throughout the shift with consistent effort, physical endurance, and personal reliability, maintaining the output rate and work quality that the farm’s daily production schedule and operational efficiency depend on from every member of the poultry handling team throughout the roster period
Maintain clean and organized conditions across all assigned chicken housing areas, feeding systems, watering equipment, and general farm work areas throughout every shift, contributing to the biosecurity, animal welfare, and operational hygiene standards that Canadian poultry farming regulations and the farm’s own quality management program require
Load, unload, and transfer crates, supplies, feed, and other farm materials across all assigned locations safely and efficiently, applying correct manual handling techniques to protect your physical wellbeing and avoid equipment or facility damage during loading and transfer activities throughout the shift

Shift and Overtime Work:

Work across the farm’s shift roster arrangements at various rural poultry farming locations as required by the operational schedule, maintaining punctual attendance and consistent physical effort across early, day, and late shift assignments throughout the employment period
Be genuinely available and prepared to work overtime hours as required and when offered by the farm operation, understanding that poultry farming is a time-sensitive and animal welfare-critical production environment where overtime availability directly supports the flock’s health, the farm’s production continuity, and the safety of the birds and the team during peak operational periods

Health, Safety, and Biosecurity:

Follow all Canadian workplace health and safety requirements, farm-specific safety protocols, and poultry biosecurity procedures without exception throughout every shift and every area of the chicken farming operation, actively protecting your own health and the health of your fellow workers, the bird flock, and the broader biosecurity integrity of the poultry farming property
Use all required personal protective equipment correctly during all dusty, odorous, and physically active farm work tasks, including respiratory protection, footwear, and any other PPE specified by the farm’s health and safety protocols for work in enclosed poultry housing environments
Follow all biosecurity entry and exit procedures for all chicken housing facilities, feed storage areas, and other biosecurity-sensitive zones on the farm property, understanding that strict personal biosecurity compliance is a non-negotiable requirement in commercial Canadian poultry farming and directly affects flock health, production outcomes, and the farm’s regulatory compliance status

Prior experience in poultry farming, chicken handling, livestock care, or physically demanding agricultural or outdoor labour is a genuine asset and will strengthen any application, though the farm’s commitment to on-site training means motivated candidates without prior formal poultry experience are equally welcome and will receive full training support from their first shift

A calm, patient, and responsible personal approach to live animal handling with the temperament to work around large numbers of live chickens throughout every shift without causing unnecessary stress or welfare compromise to the birds in your care
A reliable, punctual, and consistently accountable approach to shift attendance and overtime availability, understanding that poultry farm operations are animal welfare-critical and time-sensitive and that every team member’s dependable presence directly affects the flock’s daily care, the farm’s production schedule, and the safety of the broader poultry farming operation
A genuine willingness to work in the dusty and odorous conditions characteristic of enclosed chicken housing environments throughout all shift hours, without allowing the working environment to negatively affect the consistency, care, and professionalism of the animal handling and farm labour tasks performed
