MAXIMIZE POTENTIAL WITH A RETROFITTED LAYER HOUSE
Are you relying on the same layer house setup you’ve had for years? Did you know that many older chicken layer houses can be updated—or retrofitted—to make better use of the space and even allow for free-range or pasture-raised egg production? Retrofitting doesn’t mean you have to start over. It is simply working with what you already have plus making smart changes that can improve bird health and egg quality, while still allowing your farm to flourish and be profitable. By adding accommodations like egg conveyor belts, egg packing rooms, and other modern equipment, you might be able to change the direction of your poultry game. With free-range egg demand growing fast here in the Midwest, especially from local farms, now is a great time to see what your poultry farm is capable of. Hostetler Poultry can help you bring new life to your layer house without starting from scratch.

Does Retrofitting Make Sense For You?
The free range egg production industry is increasingly gaining popularity in the Midwest and you could join in. More and more buyers are asking for free-range eggs, and consumers are willing to pay more for them.
Hostetler Poultry has been helping seasoned farmers like you evaluate whether retrofitting your current setup makes sense. We don’t just sell equipment—we work alongside you to figure out what’s possible, what it’ll cost, and what kind of return you could expect. While retrofitting is not possible for all layer houses, Hostetler Poultry can answer your questions and help you determine if your layer house is a retrofitting candidate.
