WELCOME TO HENWIL CHICKENS

Henwil Chickens was established in 2002 as an abattoir. Thirteen independent chicken farmers, who relied on the facility, came together to purchase it—becoming shareholders and laying the foundation for the business we are today.

From these beginnings, Henwil has grown into one of South Africa’s most modern and flexible poultry operations. We currently process approximately 150,000 birds per day, with expansion plans underway to increase capacity to 200,000 birds daily.
