Meet our newest traditional colored layers!

In our new and improved range of colored layers, each product now originates from the same and single PS female line, our SASSO SA51A. SASSO is committed to continuous improvement on its products and listening to its customers’ needs. Using the SA51A now provides higher hatchability results, which was one of the main requested improvement points. By using only one PS female, we offer you easier management and greater flexibility. You only need to focus on one parent stock flock, which is less time consuming and reduces your production costs. Finally, this simplifies your feed management as you require only one feed formula.

Specifically designed for the traditional poultry market, our traditional layers are extremely robust and can resist to any challenging conditions. Robustness is at the heart of SASSO’s breeding program. These chickens can thrive in any rustic environment with minimal resources. They offer a better behavior as they will continue to eat, and their production remains constant, resulting in much less mortality. Whether you are a backyard, free range or commercial farmer, our SASSO colored layers will stay healthy and productive.

Our colored layers are the perfect choice if you’re looking for a traditional chicken providing higher egg performance. The breeder males come from the laying hens portfolio of Hendrix Genetics. They benefit from a long-lasting high-quality breeding program and proven laying performance around the world. As a result, our traditional layers offer strong egg performance with bigger egg production and egg weight.

You will immediately recognize these products by their stunning SASSO phenotype. Feather colors range from bright brown to silver grey or darker barred grey, through black and white Sussex style. We also offer a unique product on the market, the Carminy, standing out with its African style feathering, originating from the Egyptian breed Fayoumi.
Besides good egg performance, our colored laying hens produce attractive colored farmer style eggs in a variety of shades and colours. Green, brown, green and brown combined, or tinted, we have something for every need!

Our SASSO colored layers perfectly fit the need of traditional, rural markets, as they are an excellent dual purpose option. Their superior laying genetics will provide an efficient number of eggs that you can use for your family or sell on the market. Additionally, our traditional layers females have been bred to be a heavier hen, adding value to your spent hens. You can also expect higher value from the males, as they are heavier than a standard commercial layer. On top of that, you are still benefiting from the exceptional meat quality and distinctive taste of our SASSO chickens.

Discover our unique range of traditional layers which are unique by the variety of color they offer. Whether you are looking for distinctive feather colored layers producing brown eggs, or exclusive products offering beautiful and intriguing egg color, SASSO has the right product for you. No matter the color you choose, you can count on robust performance with rustic characteristics.
