Africa Chicks

When you need top-quality day-old broiler chicks and reliable feed solutions in Southern Africa, Africa Chicks has been the name farmers trust for more than two decades. Based at the Ngwenya Industrial Site right on the main border between Eswatini and South Africa, our hatchery has grown into a multi-country operation that now proudly serves Eswatini, Mozambique, and South Africa. We are not just a supplier; we are a partner dedicated to empowering poultry growers of all sizes with superior genetics, practical nutrition, and dependable service.

Our broiler birds come from the internationally recognized Aviagen and Cobb gene pools, so every chick that leaves our facility carries the traits that matter most—fast growth, excellent feed conversion, and robust health. Whether you are a small-scale farmer looking for a few dozen chicks to raise in your community or a large commercial producer needing consistent volume, the team at Africa Chicks combines decades of hands-on experience with modern hatchery standards to deliver birds that perform.

Day-Old Broiler Chicks from Trusted Genetics

At the heart of our business is the day-old broiler chick. We hatch quality chicks that are ready to thrive from the moment they arrive on your farm. Because we source our parent stock from Aviagen and Cobb, every batch benefits from generations of selective breeding focused on meat yield, livability, and uniformity. This genetic foundation gives our customers a measurable head start, reducing mortality and improving flock performance compared to local, unverified sources.

Our hatchery team follows strict biosecurity and incubation protocols to make sure each chick is vaccinated, healthy, and delivered at peak vitality. We provide clear guidance on brooding temperatures, feeding schedules, and lighting so that even first-time growers can get great results. With more than 60% of our chicks going directly to small-scale Eswatini farmers through nine Africa Chicks shops and distribution points, we have built a network that brings professional-grade poultry right into rural and peri-urban communities.

Feed Solutions That Complete the Picture

Raising broilers to their full potential takes more than great genetics—it takes the right nutrition at every stage. Africa Chicks offers feed solutions formulated to match the needs of our birds at starter, grower, and finisher phases. Our feeds are designed to support skeletal development, feathering, and rapid muscle deposition without unnecessary fillers or additives. Farmers who use our chick-and-feed packages consistently report better weights, lower mortality, and healthier flocks.

We work with trusted feed mills and nutritionists, and we keep our prices reasonable because we understand that feed cost is the biggest variable in a poultry operation. Whether you pick up your feed at one of our Eswatini locations or coordinate delivery as your farm grows, the Africa Chicks team helps you plan rations that keep your margins healthy.

Vaccines, Medication, and Flock Health Support

Prevention is always more profitable than cure, so Africa Chicks also supplies essential vaccines and medications for broiler flocks. From Newcastle disease and Gumboro vaccines to coccidiostats and vitamin supplements, we stock a range of animal health products that protect your investment. Our staff can advise on vaccination schedules, administration methods, and biosecurity measures tailored to your production setup.

We believe that supporting small-scale and emerging farmers is one of the best ways to strengthen food security in Eswatini and across the region. That is why we go beyond just selling products—we share knowledge, host informational sessions, and maintain an open line of communication for any production questions that come up during a grow-out cycle. When you partner with Africa Chicks, you get a team that cares about your results as much as you do.

Serving Mozambique, South Africa, and Beyond

Our hatchery may be rooted in Eswatini, but our vision stretches across borders. Africa Chicks already operates distribution in Mozambique and South Africa, and we are actively exploring opportunities to set up replica operations in other African countries. Our Mozambique branch, Africa Feeds, is located in Matola, Maputo, while our South Africa office serves the White River area and beyond. Each operation maintains the same commitment to quality, consistency, and customer-first service.

• Eswatini Headquarters: Ngwenya Industrial Site, Exit 1, Farm 1209, Portion 36, Mbabane — hub for hatching and primary distribution.
• South Africa: Post Net #3, Private Bag X9910, White River 1240 — serving Mpumalanga and adjacent provinces with broiler chicks and feed.
• Mozambique (Africa Feeds): Av. Samora Machel, Bairro Sicuama 1277B, Matola, Maputo — bringing quality poultry inputs to the growing Mozambican market.

Because our Ngwenya site sits on the Eswatini–South Africa border, we offer convenient access for cross-border buyers who want to reduce transport time and stress on chicks. This strategic location has helped us build a reputation for reliable supply even during times of regional shortage or seasonal peaks.
