Poultry Hatcheries

Establishments in the NAICS 112340 industry primarily engage in hatching poultry, such as chickens, turkeys, and ducks, for meat and egg production. The core activity involves incubating and hatching eggs to produce live poultry, which are then sold to farms for further rearing. This industry is distinguished from other poultry-related industries by its focus on the initial stage of poultry production, specifically the incubation and hatching process, rather than the raising or processing of mature birds.
