Commercial Egg House Worker

Matron Hill Farms is hiring a full-time egg-house worker in Elberton, Georgia. This is a direct poultry-production role for an experienced person who can complete the daily bird, equipment, egg-room, and paperwork routine without constant supervision. The employer specifically requires prior commercial poultry or egg-house experience. What you will do • Walk the poultry house and monitor bird condition, flock behavior, feed, water, ventilation, and equipment • Identify mortality, illness, stress, leaks, jams, alarms, or mechanical problems and respond according to farm procedure • Collect, handle, sort, and protect eggs while reducing cracks, contamination, and unnecessary loss • Keep the egg room, house, tools, and surrounding work areas clean and organized • Complete daily production, flock, mortality, environmental, or maintenance records accurately • Follow all entry, clothing, footwear, sanitation, pest-control, and cross-farm biosecurity rules How the work fits together Egg-house care depends on a disciplined walking pattern. The worker should see every part of the house, listen for equipment that does not sound normal, confirm water and feed delivery, and compare bird behavior with normal flock conditions. Cleaning should be done often enough to prevent buildup and slips, while records must be completed at the time of the check rather than reconstructed later. Any issue that could affect bird welfare or house environment needs immediate escalation. What the farm is looking for Previous commercial poultry or egg-house experience is required. Strong candidates know how to read flock behavior, recognize common equipment or environmental problems, protect shell quality, and follow biosecurity without exceptions. Applicants need dependable transportation, careful attendance, physical stamina, and the ability to stand, walk, bend, lift, and perform repetitive tasks in a poultry-house environment. Experience with controllers, alarms, conveyors, fans, water lines, feed systems, egg rooms, or daily flock records should be described clearly. Schedule, conditions, and compensation This is a full-time, in-person role advertised from $50 per day. Applicants should confirm the normal number of hours in a day, overtime treatment, pay review process, days off, weekend and holiday rotation, and whether the position includes any housing, meals, transportation, or other benefits. Poultry care is continuous, so reliable coverage is essential. This is an in-person agricultural position. Farm priorities can change with animal health, weather, crop condition, equipment availability, and harvest timing, so the successful person must communicate clearly and adjust without losing sight of safety or animal welfare. Daily notes and records should be complete enough that another team member can understand what was observed, what was done, and what still needs attention. Tools, vehicles, gates, feed areas, water systems, and workspaces should be left clean, secure, and ready for the next shift. Applicants should expect physical work that can include standing or walking for long periods, bending, lifting, repetitive hand tasks, wet or dusty conditions, and work outdoors or in warm agricultural buildings. A dependable arrival time matters because livestock and living production systems cannot simply wait for a late shift. Candidates should ask the employer about the exact weekly schedule, overtime treatment, training period, and any benefit eligibility before accepting an offer.
