Foreman Poultry Farm and Hatchery is a comparatively new industry in Lowell. Operations were first started in November, 1926, and is the short span of five years this hatchery and poultry breeding plant has developed into one of the finest of its kind in the country.

Specializing in high egg bred White Leghorns and Barred Plymouth Rocks, Foreman Poultry Farm has won not only highest state honors but has gained national recognition in the development of laying strains combining large egg size with high production.

The sale of "day-old chicks" is the principal commodity although "ten-week-old pullets," "hatching eggs," and "pedigreed breeding stock" are other items receiving wide distribution.

The sale of day-old chicks has shown a steady increase in volume with the annual output surpassing the half-million mark in 1930. Foreman Farm chicks are shipped to practically every state in the Union with shipments going as far west as California, south to Texas and New Mexico, east to Maine and Rhode Island, northeast to the province of Quebec and northwest as far as Saskatchewan.

You will be welcomed at Foreman Poultry farm at any time where will see our hatchery and the most modern hatching equipment with a capacity of 80,000 eggs at one time, also an ideal chick range with 5,000 head of growing stock and a trapnest breeding plant with 1,000 layers.
