Pullets & live birds
Reared pullets and other live poultry requested for further production, screened for animal-health, welfare and transport rules before supplier contact.
Quick answer
Reared pullets are young laying hens moved to production houses near the start of lay. They are live animals, so health certification and welfare-compliant transport apply, and HatchMatch screens live-animal routes before contacting suppliers. State strain, age at delivery, rearing system, vaccination and destination in your request.
This catalog shows what you can request, not stock. HatchMatch has no verified supplier data on these pages yet, so suppliers, availability, prices, origin and claims are confirmed for each request. Your request is reviewed by our team, who contact suppliers on your behalf — there is no direct supplier contact.
What sets these items apart
- Reared pullets are bought for egg production; they are not day-old chicks and are classified under a different weight band.
- Live-animal routes need veterinary certification and are screened by HatchMatch before any supplier is contacted.
