Pasture-based laying hens and broiler flocks

Lead the safe, humane, compliant, and efficient operation of Seven Sons' pasture-based laying hen and broiler enterprises. The Poultry Supervisor translates production plans and approved poultry programs into reliable daily execution through hands‑on flock care, team leadership, recordkeeping, equipment stewardship, and continuous improvement. The role is accountable for flock welfare and performance, egg quality and handling, poultry‑specific biosecurity, outdoor access, and timely communication of risks and results.

• Direct and participate in daily care for laying hens and broilers, ensuring consistent access to feed, clean water, appropriate shelter, ventilation, bedding, shade, and pasture.

• Observe each flock daily for health, behavior, injury, predator pressure, environmental stress, and signs of disease; take immediate practical action within training and promptly elevate concerns.

• Monitor and report lay rate, egg quality and breakage, flock weights and weight gain, mortality, feed use, water availability, and forage condition.

• Plan and execute flock placements, transfers, mobile‑coop moves, and loadouts in coordination with the Farm Operations Director and required farm support.

• Minimize floor eggs, cracked eggs, feed waste, water interruptions, preventable mortality, and handling stress through proactive management.

• Execute the approved outdoor management plan, including fencing changes, paddock rotations, rest periods, outdoor water access, shade, and stocking‑density requirements.

• Maintain meaningful outdoor conditions by monitoring vegetation and forage quality, identifying reseeding or mowing needs, protecting resting paddocks, and coordinating poultry pasture needs with the appropriate farm owner without assuming ownership of broader land‑stewardship work.

• Maintain poultry netting and electric‑fence effectiveness and oversee poultry guard‑dog practices, including keeping dogs out of hen houses and following sanitation requirements before reentry when needed.

• Inspect for predator activity and pasture hazards; correct poultry‑controlled issues and elevate infrastructure or land work outside the poultry team's scope.

• Ensure eggs are collected, handled, transported, and placed into approved refrigeration promptly and no later than the timelines established in the current S.E. Plan.

• Maintain Daily Documentation of egg cooler temperatures.

• Maintain accurate egg-production, cooler, transport, and traceability records and support product holds, customer notification, or recall actions when directed by the approved response plan.

• Uphold the current Salmonella Enteritidis (S.E.) Plan and poultry biosecurity procedures in daily operations; follow the S.E. Plan Administrator's direction and promptly report deviations or suspected disease.

• Monitor poultry‑house access, ensure required visitor scheduling and logs, & maintain entry/exit footbaths.

• Oversee flock‑turn cleaning and disinfection of houses, nesters, feeders, water lines, tools, and poultry‑related equipment; inspect and sign off on readiness before fresh bedding or flock placement.

• Coordinate required pullet documentation and age‑based environmental testing with the S.E. Plan Administrator, including sampling logistics, record submission, and immediate escalation of positive or questionable results.

• Maintain required poultry compliance records for the retention period in the governing plan and make them available for internal review or inspection.

• Maintain the approved rodent‑trap, bait‑station, and fly‑monitoring program for each flock; complete weekly checks and record results in the required logs.
