Job Overview
We are seeking a reliable and detail-oriented individual to join our team as a part-time Egg Gatherer for a two-house commercial chicken farm in Fackler, AL. This position is primarily for Sundays, with the possibility of one weekday shift. Perfect for someone wanting to earn extra cash.
You will work inside a dedicated, climate-controlled work room where eggs are transported via a conveyor belt system that you can control the speed. Your primary responsibility is to sort, pack, and safely store the eggs. Because biosecurity is our top priority to keep our flock healthy, compliance with strict farm sanitization rules is non-negotiable.
Key Responsibilities
Egg Handling & Packing: Stand at the collection table in the work room, carefully handling eggs as they come down the conveyor belt, and placing them into trays and placing the trays on a cart and then stacking on a pallet at the end of the shift.
Inventory Storage: Safely transport and stack completed egg trays into the on-site cooler room at the end of the shift. Must be able to complete basic math tasks to record the egg numbers
Biosecurity Compliance: Strictly follow all farm biosecurity protocols, which includes showering in at the facility before entering the work area to prevent the introduction of outside pathogens and changing into provided clothing and boots.
General Cleanliness: Maintain a clean and organized work room throughout the day.
Requirements & Qualifications
Biosecurity Rule: To protect our flock, you must not own any personal chickens, birds, or poultry or pigs.
Physical Stamina: Ability to stand on concrete floors for several hours at a time.
Lifting Ability: Must be able to comfortably and repeatedly lift up to 15-30 pounds (egg trays/ egg buckets) without assistance.
Reliability: Dependability is crucial. You must show up on time every Sunday ready to work.
Comfortability: Must be completely comfortable handling chicken eggs and working in a farm environment.
Trainability: Must be willing to follow precise instructions and obey all farm safety and hygiene rules.
Working Conditions
You will be working inside a covered, secure work room (not directly in the chicken houses with the birds).
The shift begins at 7:30 AM and typically ends around 4:00 PM, though exact end times may vary slightly based on the daily egg volume (you leave when the job is done).
Pay: From $50.00 per day
Work Location: In person
Salary : $50
