ICBH GROUP (PTY) LTD (Indigenous Chicken Breeders & Hatcheries) was first established Bela-Bela in 2010, now home to our head office, nestled amongst the Waterberg Mountains, situated in the beautiful South African Province of Limpopo.
The ICBH Group head office grounds consist of a breeding farm and hatchery used to develop breeding stock for our particular cross-breeds known as the ROCO, the POCO, the BOCO, the BOSKOEK and the HOCO. Our breeds are ‘fast growing’ free-range chickens, reared for meat or egg production. The hens are exceptional large birds and excellent egg layers, with characteristics appropriate and suitable for the African climate and markets.
ICBH Group is a registered ‘export facility ‘ with the South African Department of Agriculture, which allows us to export fertile eggs, day-old chicks, pullets, point-of-lay hens and roosters into the rest of Africa. Our other registrations are with SAPA (South African Poultry Association), PDMA (Poultry Disease Management Agency) and DAFF (Department of Forestry & fisheries).
Our core focus here at ICBH Group is Indigenous poultry cross-breeding though we also service the commercial market with layers and broilers and Parent Stock. ICBH Group is a poultry solution company with expertise servicing the industry from ‘farmer to fork’.
ICBH GROUP, IS REGISTERED AS A CLOSED COMPARTMENT WITH THE SOUTH AFRICAN DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND A MEMBER OF SAPA (SOUTH AFRICAN POULTRY ASSOCIATION)
ICBH Group farms and breeds with none other than the traditional indigenous ‘free-range’ chickens.
When we talk about indigenous chickens, we talk about the traditional chicken that originates from Africa, the breed that is now lost due to the cross-over to broilers and the influx of large corporate chicken farming companies.
Remember, back in the day, when we all enjoyed eating a tasty, plump roasted chicken, with loads of nutritional value because the chickens were allowed to forage freely in the open spaces of the farm and back-yards experiencing mother nature’s sunshine, windy and rainy weather ?
The ICBH Group has brought back those ever so popular, plump and flavoursome chickens that so many of us enjoyed at family mealtimes of years past. Currently, customers’ retail trends are turning more than ever, towards ‘free-range’ poultry and produce. Free-range chickens and free-range eggs are healthier, more nutritious with a distinct flavour and taste an most breeders, say hens start to lay from as early as 18 weeks, we disagree and say prepare yourself for longer waiting period from 24 to 27 weeks old, this is also based on the way the laying chicks have been reared, giving them the correct development feed and vaccinations and the same will apply if you wish for the roosters to grow fast and big, you will need to feed them with high protein feed to gain weight in the shortest possible time.
We have spent years cross-breeding with a few exceptional noted breeds from all of Africa, resulting successfully in sharing fast growing, multipurpose chickens branded the ROCO, the POCO, the BOCO & the HOCO and at the same time, breeding with the well-known, commercial breeds such ROSS BOILERS and LOHMANN breeds.
It is highly recommended to buy day-old chicks directly from our hatchery (the ICBH Hatchery & Breeding farm) a farm and hatchery closely monitored and audited by the ICBH Group, always maintaining the highest standards implemented by the ICBH Group, resulting in good quality day-old chicks and guaranteed customer satisfaction.
