How ordering works
Four steps from your message to your bakkie.
-
01
Send the order
Use the order form, WhatsApp or a phone call. Tell us the line, the quantity and the day you need it. Wholesale buyers can send a standing weekly order.
-
02
We confirm the batch
We check your quantity against the batch board and reply with a written quote: unit price, bulk rate if it applies, delivery fee and the collection date.
-
03
Pay and lock it in
Cash at the gate, EFT, or a 50% deposit for orders above 50 birds. The deposit holds your birds in the batch so they are not sold from under you.
-
04
Collect or receive
Collect at the farm between 07:00 and 17:00, or we deliver on the scheduled run for your town. Birds are weighed in front of you before they load.
Wholesale and standing orders.
Retailers, butcheries, caterers and spaza shops can register a standing weekly order and
get first call on each batch before it opens to walk-in buyers.

Health & biosecurity
A healthy bird is not luck. It is a routine.
Poultry disease moves fast and it moves on boots, crates and vehicles. Our houses run on a written routine, the same one every cycle, because that is what keeps a batch alive and a buyer coming back.
- Chicks sourced from a registered hatchery and vaccinated against Newcastle disease and Gumboro on schedule.
- Foot dip and hand wash at every house entrance. Visitors do not walk between houses.
- Houses cleaned, disinfected and rested between cycles before new chicks are placed.
- Fresh shavings, clean water lines and feed stored off the ground and away from rodents.
- Daily mortality, feed and weight recorded per house so problems show up early.
- Sick birds isolated immediately, never sold, never mixed back into a batch.

Why we farm
Food security starts with somebody nearby who can actually raise the bird.
Sompisi Poultry Farm was started in 2024 at Sisulu Location in Umzimkhulu. The reason was simple enough: chicken in this district travels a long way before it reaches a plate, and the money travels with it. A farm here keeps both closer to home.
Every cycle we run creates work on the farm, keeps a shop supplied without a two-hour round trip, and puts affordable protein into the community that raised it. We are growing on purpose and at a pace we can keep clean.
Book from this week's batch before it closes.
