Chickens, Turkeys and Breeders Code – Progress Updates
October 2024
The official announcement for the Code’s update was released on October 4th, 2024 along with a top-of-mind survey. Both the Code Committee and the Scientific Committee are in place; members can be found here.
An important preliminary step in this process is to invite the industry, general public, and all other interested individuals to submit their top-of-mind thoughts on the welfare of hatching eggs, breeders, chickens and turkeys. This input will help to inform the Code update. The top-of-mind survey deadline has been extended; it will now be open for input until November 8th, 2024. You can access the survey here.
Work is underway to schedule virtual orientation meetings for all committee members in November 2024. It is anticipated that the first in-person meeting for this Code update will be in the first quarter of 2025.
