  • Vaccinated on day one in accordance with South African regulations

  • Professionally sexed (layer pullets only – no cockerels)

  • Supplied in boxes of 101 chicks, with customers charged for 100 chicks only

Infra-Red Beak Treatment (IRBT) can be arranged upon client request and will be quoted separately.

TRANSPORTATION & DELIVERY CARE

We place the highest priority on chick welfare during transport. Our delivery protocols include:

  • Careful driving practices (no speeding, harsh braking, or reckless driving)

  • Route planning using national roads wherever possible

  • Minimising stress, temperature fluctuation, and handling time

Ownership transfers to the client after inspection at delivery or collection, ensuring transparency and confidence.

Should mortality be detected during offload inspection, we work with our clients to resolve the matter fairly.

If mortality exceeds 5% per box upon delivery, A & B Poultry Supply t/a Curions (Pty) Ltd will replace the excess mortality or issue a bank refund for the affected quantity within 14 working days, supported by a clear audit trail.

  • Full EFT payment is required within this period to secure the order

  • Payment references must include client name, surname, and invoice number

  • Proof of payment must be submitted via email or WhatsApp

Cash deposits are accepted, with a 10% banking handling surcharge.

We operate on a hatch-on-demand model to ensure freshness and quality.

FERTILE HATCHING EGGS

We strive to supply fertile eggs with 90-95%+ fertility, supported by:

As fertility and hatchability are influenced by multiple external factors (incubation, handling, transport, operator expertise), we work closely with customers to provide guidance and best-practice support.

Our goal is always to fulfil orders responsibly and transparently, maintaining livestock welfare as the highest priority.
