Farm Laborer

Job description

Crops: Poultry - Gender Sorting.

The Poultry Vent Sexer is responsible for accurately determining the sex of one-day-old breeder chicks by examining the anal vent (genitalia) and sorting chicks by gender for agricultural production. This position requires repetitive handling of day-old chicks, including gently expressing fecal matter when necessary to obtain a clear view of the anal vent for inspection.

The employee must handle chicks carefully and humanely while maintaining production quality, efficiency, and a high level of concentration, precision, and consistency throughout the workday. Compliance with all company animal welfare, biosecurity, and safety procedures is required.

Workers who possess a valid driver’s license and meet all applicable legal requirements, including holding a doctor’s certificate as required by 29 CFR § 500.105, may be asked to drive vehicles for transporting workers, goods, or commodities on company business. This task is voluntary, compensable, and not a mandatory job duty. Workers without a valid driver’s license or doctor’s certificate will still be fully eligible for employment and are not disqualified from any other job responsibilities outlined in this application. The employer can and will make alternative arrangements for the transportation of workers should the need arise.

Special Requirements

Applicants must have a minimum of three (3) months of experience performing vent sexing of one-day-old breeder chicks and demonstrate the ability to maintain at least 98% accuracy in sorting one-day-old chicks. Compliance with all company animal welfare, biosecurity, and safety procedures is required. The position also requires the ability to stand for extended periods, perform repetitive hand movements, maintain sustained focus, precision, and consistency throughout the workday.
